Myra Fordham is a survivor of domestic abuse, having suffered a traumatic brain injury at her home in Darwin, Australia. This came as a result of being punched in the head by her boyfriend at the time. He became infuriated by a text message on her phone at the time.
This incident left Myra in an induced coma for 11 days. Afterward, she underwent brain surgery and spent weeks in hospital for rehabilitation.
Despite feeling like the odds were against her, Myra found all the courage and strength she needed to learn how to walk and talk again. She also went on to successfully heal her trauma and beat suicide, anxiety, and depression.
A traumatic event can cause us to feel unsafe in our physical and emotional bodies for a long time, leaving many sufferers feeling helpless in moving forward to create a better future.
Myra is now a Trauma coach for women, helping them to heal and overcome their past trauma so they can go on to become happy and free, no longer feeling like a victim of their past. She is the founder of Myra Fordham Coaching and is known as Australia’s #1 Trauma Coach for women.
When trauma sufferers begin to understand that the pain of their past is trapped energy in their bodies that limits them, they can then go on to create a life with more happiness, purpose, and freedom.
Myra Fordham helps women to overcome their trauma and pain in the same way she was able to overcome hers and shares, “I learned how to walk and talk again. I felt broken, like a baby, and had to be pushed around in a wheelchair. To heal from this traumatic incident, I have worked hard to heal my genealogical trauma and unlearn my toxic behavioral traits.”
Typically, women who seek Myra’s support are those who suffer from anxiety and have “people pleasing” tendencies, seeking to please others while failing to honor their desires. She also is a coach to women who regularly attract men who have toxic behaviors or how they can rekindle the flames and chemistry with their partner if they are in an existing relationship. She shares, “When looking for a coach, ensure that they have the life experience to help you with your challenges, and they have solved their problems and display competency.”
Our past pain can either keep us in a state of victimhood or fuel us towards making changes in our lives and the lives of others. Along Myra’s path to healing physically, spiritually, and emotionally, she realized her higher purpose was helping others heal through their trauma in the same way she overcame her own.
