My experiences both personal and professional, continue to highlight to me the capacity that I have to take my pain, adverse experiences, grief and loss, and channel this into supporting in some way, others with theirs.
The experiences that I have suffered at the hands of the people closest to me were dominated by their own needs, given with the intention of destroying my sense of who I am.
To some extent we are all at the mercy of the power of others within each circumstance, this is not always a good thing!
Ironically, although elements of my past may continue to test me at times, I know that in some way, the legacy of these experiences provided me with a reason to develop grit, determination and resilience to succeed in my mission of contributing to a much greater good.
All aspects of my contributions to my causes are rooted in me having experienced similar experiences myself, and of seeing where knowledge and responses fall short of where I think they need to be. I will be sharing aspects of my own findings, to provide insight to individuals and the professionals who respond to them in understanding the deeper layers of these subjects and how to find the appropriate sense of safety and resolution.
It is my belief that everyone has an entitlement to be heard and seen, to find meaning and connection and to feel safe in this world
It is possible for everyone to work with themselves, no matter how bad they believe themselves to be, and to live the limitless life that I think they are all deserving of.
I wish others to hear my story, for the purpose of gaining a true sense of who I am and why I do the work that I do.
My talk will include the sharing of my child me, and the “opportunity” that I was given to revisit this past and to experience it once more as the adult me.
Let me demonstrate to you the power of therapy and how this is used within my training creations.
My hope would be that my story will show you my journey and why I am so committed to the work that I do. I wish to offer you a unique insight and a greater understanding of the experience of others impacted by trauma.
