From Trauma to Compassion: Embracing Growth, Healing, and Self-Discovery

I am so very honored to be among the leaders at DTTI because I believe strongly in the mission. Like many of us helpers, I experienced some pretty significant trauma during my early childhood that shaped the way I experienced myself and the world. This impacted my relationships, outlook, and coping, leading to perfectionist tendencies. I also believe it contributed to me not realizing until adulthood that I'm AuDHD. I've now spent several years exploring and understanding myself from a place of compassion. Time in nature, compassion toward self, meditation, and brainspotting have radically shifted my relationship with myself for the better. 💜 Be patient and kind to yourself, honor your natural seasons of healing (times of work, times of rest), and find your community.
