Trauma Healing Is A Journey

Trauma healing is a journey worth continuing.

It’s always nice to establish first.

REBOOT Recovery of the Quad Cities held its first-ever Summer Trauma Healing Course in 2025. The graduates let us know that they were ‘hungry for more’ trauma healing. Although we achieved the course’s stated objectives, these graduates desired a greater connection between trauma and spirituality.

REBOOT Advance

After holding our first REBOOT Recovery Open House in our new location, we answered the call to further show the intersection between trauma and spirituality. We held our first REBOOT Advance Course led by co-facilitator Maria Berdecia. REBOOT Advance is open to graduates of any REBOOT Course – Trauma Basic, Military, or First Responder that seek to continue learning about trauma, growing in the word, and enjoying the fruits of trauma healing.

The course is taught in a similar fashion to the other trauma courses but with an emphasis on the spiritual aspects of trauma recovery. The picture below is of our first REBOOT Advance Course graduates, a combination of Trauma REBOOT graduates from various classes beginning in January 2023. The certificates are of our own creation and the blue shirt signifies “cadre-qualified,” with the next step being facilitator.

Although these fortunate women have achieved numerous milestones in trauma healing, there is still work to be done.
