Discover The Space Before Thought: Pathway to healing past trauma, fear & anxiety

Atousa Raissyan was 38 when her life came to a screeching halt.

Confronted by a painful divorce, the challenges of being a single mother, financial hardships, and family disconnection, she hit her lowest point.

Yet, in that moment of vulnerability lay an unexpected opportunity to stop, reflect, and choose a new direction.

She realized that the weight of her circumstances was a construct of her beliefs, a concept she later called "The Space Before Thoughts.”

In this 45 min - 1 hour talk, Atousa shares her transformative journey to uncover the space where awareness transcends life's noise.

Atousa is a healer, transformational life coach, best-selling author, and inspirational speaker dedicated to guiding individuals toward holistic well- being through self-love.

In her award-winning book, Change Yourself, Change The World, she empowers people to release trauma and embrace heart- centered living. Clients describe her as a "Guiding Light" and "Intuitive Healer."

She has been featured in USA Today, MSN, NYC Journal, NY Weekly Magazine and other press.

Atousa has been a guest on numerous podcasts, workshops and summits sharing guidance on healing from fear.

This talk will focus on the transformative potential of accessing the "space before thought"—a concept that appears in modern research—especially in the context of past trauma, fear, and anxiety affecting physical, mental and emotional health.

While there is a growing understanding of the space that exists just before a thought forms, the available resources to actively tap into this space during high-stress, trauma-induced states are ineffective.

This talk would blend insights from modern mindfulness and different energy healing practices to show how anyone can learn to access this space, reduce the impact of paralyzing thoughts, and create a sense of safety, calm, and agency in moments of overwhelming fear and/or anxiety.

Takeaways:
- Self-Awareness: Identify your patterns, behaviors, and identities that may be holding you back.
- Responsibility: Learn to take ownership of your life and choices.
- Forgiveness: Cultivate the ability to forgive yourself and others.
- Self-Love: Embrace practices that foster self-compassion and acceptance.
- Connection: Recognize the space of oneness and wholeness within yourself and with others.
