"We have all experienced trauma in one form or another. From the veterans coming back from the wars to the one in three who have had some kind of sexual trauma, lasting effects can lead to depression, anxiety, addictions and other negative effects that can be prevented rather than being suppressed, neglected or avoided." says Johnson.
"Through this show we hope to provide insight as well as practical actionable steps anyone can take to not just cope with their past traumas, but to heal fully from them and in a healthy way." says Johnson.

"We are using "Laboratory" because we want people to know their own lives can be part of the discovery...what helps one heal may be different from anyone else in different combinations. There is not a one size fits all or a cookie cutter approach to healing."
"Making self care a top priority cannot be over stressed. The tough part is those who have had trauma tend to think they are not worthy of real self care. That's one thing I really hope people get from Healthy Healing Laboratory, they are worthy of self care."
