This event felt like church, nothing less. Having a connection with these healers is like being grounded in spirit and surrounded with understanding. I never felt more at home. Above is the talk, in file form to download and print.
The talk went great, everyone did such a wonderful job and I learned so much- I LOVED GIVING THE TALK!!! Who knew? LOL. Public speaking has always been hard for me, but its gotten :::gasp::::: enjoyable. It seems the anticipation is just the issue to get over. I'm ready for the next time now :)
The first speaker was about dispelling the myths of domestic violence.
The second was Anne about the effects of domestic violence on children. THERE are EFFECTS, CHILDREN CANNOT NOT BE EFFECTED.
The third was me, about how trauma is encoded in the brain (in non verbal areas) and how art helps that- among other things.
The fouth was forensic psychology- the police part of sexual abuse. AWESOME- as they all were.
The fourth person was about getting children to think as children and then activities and memories, feelings, etc.
It was informative, fun and among other things. The best part of it for me, personally besides the education, is the comraderie with these other healers who know and work with situations like I'm used to. With a history of violence and dysfunction, its not like you fit in with just anyone. Like the forensic expert said, its not like
we get invited back to dinner parties.
It was great to be able to relate with these wonderful women.
Later, I'll write more, but I'm sooooo tired and I'm going to paint :)
Love, Linda
