Introduction

Sometimes. . , life throws us stories that hit home, stories that make us sit up and listen. 

So, before we jump into one such tale, let's take a minute to understand two things: trauma and clutter. 

Imagine them as two heavy backpacks we sometimes end up carrying. For Tammie, these backpacks became too heavy. 

But then, something changed. . .

Trauma, Clutter, and Finding the Way Out

Life is a beautiful fabric — woven with both vibrant threads of joy and dark strands of challenges. 

Trauma and clutter are two such challenges that often go hand in hand. 

Trauma, a profound emotional response to a distressing event, often leaves scars long after the incident is over. Clutter, on the other hand, is not just about scattered items; it's a reflection of the chaos within. The room's mess can often mirror the mess in one's mind. And when these two combine, they create a storm that's hard to navigate.

Tammie, like many, found herself caught in this storm. But her journey, filled with twists and turns, reveals a pathway out.

This narrative isn't just a story; it's a beacon. It seeks to offer both a perspective and a solution, echoing the struggles many face but often find hard to voice. 

In this blog post, we'll take you on a journey, a deeply personal one shared by Tammie. 

By looking into her life, we aim to understand the intricate dance between trauma and clutter and how, with the right intervention, offers a glimmer of hope amidst this chaos.

The Beginning of Tammie’s Story

"Hey, are you okay?" It was a simple question, one that many of us hear and throw around in our daily conversations. But for Tammie, it was a profound reflection of the storm brewing within her.

Her past? Far from simple. .  . 

. . . A complicated mixture of traumas, from a babysitter's neglect to facing young, overwhelmed parents. 

"Love them, but man, we never talked about the painful stuff," Tammie recalls.

As she grew, life didn’t get any easier. . . 

The shadow of early traumas loomed large, leaving indelible imprints.. Each incident added to the weight she carried, and as years rolled on, the burden grew heavier.

Despite the traumas, she put herself through college. 

"I even earned a Masters of Divinity. But when I hit 40? Boom! 

By the time adulthood dawned, the clutter wasn't just in her memories but spilled over into her living space.

Her life got swallowed by piles of papers. . , unchecked mails. . scattered books  and her surroundings became a tangible testament to the chaos within.

Nights without sleep. . , unclear thinking. . , feeling swamped all the time—life felt like an impossible challenge. 

Even after attempting therapies and thrilling activities like rollerblading and parasailing, that heavy burden never really went away.

The Catalyst for Change

As it is often said, "When you're at the bottom, the only way is up.".

Tammie's voice floats through. “ I remember my mom telling me once a few years back : 'You don't know how strong you are!” She was right."

One day, as Tammie scrolled through Facebook, a bright light appeared on her screen: DO Well® The name itself was an invitation, a call to action. It wasn't just another self-help mantra but a structured program, promising to address not just the physical clutter but the emotional and mental turmoil.

It was her ray of hope, the tool of change she had been seeking. And as she clicked on it, she took the first step towards transforming her life.

Tammie's journey with DO Well® is a testament to the human spirit's resilience. But this is just the beginning. . . 

In the next chapters, we'll dig deeper into her story, uncovering her journey of change, the helpful tools she used, and the wisdom we can all take away from her experience.

Tammie's Transformation with DO Well®

Tammie's life had always been a whirlwind of emotions, memories, and physical clutter. However, the introduction of "DO Well" promised a new direction. Here's how the program and Tammie's indomitable spirit reshaped her journey: 

The DO Well® Approach

"I felt safe with DO Well®," she said, a notable appreciation for Valerie and the team. 

DO Well® wasn't just another decluttering program. It wasn't just about organizing spaces; it was about understanding how trauma wires the brain. Its core philosophy transcended physical spaces. 

"But the journey? Like a rollercoaster. Ups, downs, twists, and turns!"

"Being on edge, always waiting for the next bad thing? Exhausting," Tammie noted. But the program provided tools. Tools that worked.

For Tammie, this approach was a breath of fresh air, offering a holistic solution rather than just a superficial fix.

At the heart of DO Well® was the science of cortisol, the body's primary stress hormone. High cortisol levels can wreak havoc, affecting decision-making, focus, and emotional well-being. 

It focused on the mind, recognizing that mental chaos can often lead to physical mess. DO Well® aimed to deal with and control this, laying the groundwork for change.

Guiding Tammie through this significant change was Valerie. Beyond being the creator of DO Well®,  Valerie was Tammie's guiding light. She was the understanding mentor who made sure every participant felt acknowledged, listened to, and empathized with.

The Tools and Techniques

Night times used to be Tammie's nemesis. "My house was quiet, but my mind? Loud as a rock concert." Then came the breathing exercises.

One of the pillars of the program was the 'Doer's Reset'. For Tammie, it was a game-changer.

"When I’m stressed, my heart races, palms sweat. But now, hand on heart, deep breaths, I can calm the storm." 

This technique became her anchor, a means to find stillness amidst the chaos. The emphasis was on conscious breathing, grounding oneself in the present moment.

Then there was the brain-heart synchronization, a method to harmonize emotions and thoughts. This synchronization was more than just a technique; it was a way of being, allowing Tammie to address past traumas.

Tammie's experience with these tools was transformative. She found clarity, a newfound ability to make decisions without being paralyzed by overwhelm. Where once stood a mountain of papers and unchecked mails, there now existed order and tranquility.

And her confidence? Skyrocketing. Six months in, she dived into a public speaking course. "Something I never imagined before."

Progress and Setbacks

However, like any journey, Tammie's path with DO Well® wasn't linear. There were highs of elation and lows of despair. Days when her space looked like a page from an interior design magazine and days when chaos seemed to creep back in.

But with each challenge, Tammie learned. 

She celebrated small victories, relishing the feeling of waking up in a decluttered room or having a clear thought process. And during setbacks? She leaned into the program, using the tools and techniques to navigate and move forward.

For Tammie, each setback was a lesson, each challenge an opportunity to grow. 

With the guidance of Valerie and the DO Well® program, she learned to embrace the journey, understanding that moving forward is a process, not an endpoint.

Tammie's story with DO Well® is an inspiration. A testament to the power of resilience, the right tools, and a supportive community.

In getting better, it's not just about the tools or techniques; it's about having an environment where one feels secure, seen, and validated.

This safety paved the way for Tammie's self-awareness. With each session, she unraveled layers of her psyche, understanding the depths of her trauma and the shadows it cast on her life. The revelations weren't always easy, but they were always enlightening.

But perhaps the most significant lesson was the realization that true transformation is a journey. There are no shortcuts, no quick fixes. It's about embracing each step, valuing the process as much as the destination.

Tammie's Future Endeavors

Equipped with a newfound confidence, Tammie started looking beyond the confines of her past challenges. One of her ambitions was to dive into the world of public speaking. Having weathered life's storms, she felt an urge to share her insights, hoping her words might light the way for others.
