I am a Spiritual Counselor and have been counseling for over 40 years, 30 of which were with abused women. I recently authored the book My Journey to Peace with PTSD not only from the counselor's perspective, but from the victim as well. After a flashback of a 40-year suppressed rape, I went into therapy for a year. No one was more surprised than I when I discovered my self-esteem was as low as some of my clients. Placing myself on the same path as I place my clients, I experienced first hand the healing they went through using the methods I intuited for my clients many years ago.
I still counsel occasionally, but wish to teach how keeping pain and trauma within only serves to strengthen its hold on us. My non-profit will be putting on workshops to teach victims the tools they need to overcome their traumas, and that only through share does the pain lesson its hold on us.
