Survivor & Abuse Recovery Teacher
Teaching survivors of childhood abuse how to switch from surviving to thriving using therapy. Explaining how to work with professionals to not spend years in therapy before the good life starts!
Many survivors stuck in survival mode for years although they are in therapy for a long time…
There are many reasons… They are not guided enough about what to do to heal. Instead of that, they hear ‘Trust the process’. There is nothing like a recovery strategy with specific steps that take them from point A to point B. The therapeutic approach doesn’t work well for them. They don’t do any bodywork. They don’t have supplementary activities in their everyday lives. Therapy is a great tool. But every tool needs to be used consciously to be useful!
I am a Trauma Recovery Teacher working with survivors of childhood abuse who are in therapy. I support them to make faster progress by understanding specific steps in healing, addressing the sessions, and including supplementary activities.
I am also a survivor of childhood emotional, physical, and sexual abuse raised by an alcoholic father and a narcissistic mother. Thanks to therapy I went out of a dark place and started thriving. Now I live a dream life that in the past I would have never believed it would be mine…
Everything I teach is based on my own experience and mastered in the work with other survivors.

One session with Kasia was more valuable than going half-year to the psychologist! OMG. It was such a good reminder to me that visual things, like writing on a paper, work so well! This practical stuff was missing from my therapy! I cannot say enough thank you, and all the heart icons wouldn't be enough...
Kasia taught me how important it is to focus on myself, how to build happiness and confidence. It was absolutely right, and now I feel much better. She is absolutely trustworthy, compassionate and deep person.
Kasia’s support helped me to deal with huge struggles in my personal life. I learned how to cope with overwhelming emotions and how to perceive difficulties in a way to be able to make changes. I trust Kasia because of her personal story and I appreciate her understanding of really tough stuff.
![[👉Swipe] to see 3 MYTHS that sabotage abuse recovery that all the survivors repeat💥! I also repeated them! Every day for years...
I remember how my life looked like when I was there... It was so exhausting! I wasn't even able to imagine a different future. It was a vicious circle of struggling with my triggers. As if nothing could have ever changed😟. I felt stuck and hopeless.
But it had changed🤯! In 2017 I wasn't able to get out of my bed in the deepest stage of my depression, anxiety, and PTSD, and now in 2020, I have an amazing life full of joy and freedom to do everything my heart truly wants🌠.
I had thought that nothing could have changed. Actually, everything changed! Me, the way I live, the place I live, people around me, my profession... 💥
One of the things that helped me to make it happen was understanding what is the inner language of trauma. It is like a foreign language that works only in one country. Like people in Bali🌞 where I live now speak in Bahasa, and this language is not useful anywhere else.
Same about the trauma language. It was shaped by the abuse and it describes only this experience. When we try to use it to talk about something else, like for example the recovery, then it doesn't fit, it is not useful, and first of all it is not true!
It is bullshit that healing is not really possible, recovery will be always a part of your life, and therapy takes years. All the survivors repeat it because that's how they felt during the experiences of abuse!
Do you want to stop struggling and start thriving❤? Start recognizing the language of your trauma and learn the new one, the language of life! How? By creating the experience where you can feel powerful, solution-oriented, and catching the moments that are short (and teach your mind that everything changes). And first of all, stop talking about your recovery in the trauma language!
It really is like learning a foreign language. It needs effort and repetition to speak in it. Good luck❤!
