Trauma is a heavy weight carried throughout the body, and Qarahn uses this as a guide to help form the kind of treatment needed for teach individual client. He believes every person is different and has unique needs. Qarahn directly addresses the trauma his clients have endured while remaining sensitive to their limits and needs.
