The Courage of a Nation Quotes

“The most crucial aspect of therapy is the development of a good therapeutic alliance with a therapist who is trauma-informed and has a Spiritually open mindset. With this we create a place of safety where we offer information, make sure our clients are grounded, feel empowered, have a way to regulate emotions and feel cared for and respected.”

“Tonight, I feel pain
It’s pain from something I endured years ago
It’s a hurt that comes every few months
A pain I’ve come to know as shame
It holds my tongue and doesn’t let me tell
It is not my shame to hold
Yet it holds me down like a foot at my throat”

“I have witnessed many changes because of this work and thus received many rewards. My giving became my receiving. I have witnessed wisdom resulting from this work. In the giving was sharing, in the sharing understanding, in the understanding was joy and love and laughter, and I do believe that this is what is meant to be human.”
