"Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you." -Dr. Gabor Maté I have worked for humanitarian organizations and within the field of social work and trauma for the last 18 years, mainly with refugees, addiction and different kind of mental illnesses. The last five years I have specialized in working with survivors of incest and sexual abuse and domestic violence. I just finished the one year long professional training in Compassionate Inquiry which is a psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Mate. This approach gently uncovers and releases the layers of childhood trauma, constriction and suppressed emotion embedded in the body, that are at the root of mental and physical illness and addiction Let us take a first step together towards healing and freedom.
