I am a First nation woman of Austalia. Having been employed for the Department of Communities, Child Protection and Family Support for several years, I have seen my own people and people I have worked with who are traumtised y 'Shame' feelings of unworthiness! self esteem issues! etc etc; I myself have experienced this most of my life. which is what led me to seek out healing spaces, so I could heal myself! So I guess its not at all a secret that I became a clinical counsellor and Holistic healer in mind body medicines . I have 3 grown young adult children, 5 grandchildren, & am very interested in the toopic of Compassion- Based approaches for Working Shame' caught my attendtion !! This word - "Shame' is a controlling word, coerceive and manipulate, bullying behaviour !! I wanted to learn more about how to support those who are traumatised by these damaging behaviours and historical impacts. Being a Clinical Counsellor and Native Flower Therapiest, Holistic Healer, I experienced 'Shame' and I know how cripling and dibilitating it can have on ones life. and the impacts of 'Shame' and what it looks like!!! I am hoping that this training will informed me better and provide me with more information that I can utilse to help others find a sense of peace.
