Child Abuse : the Toxic Heirloom -  $55

The impact of childhood trauma is underestimated in terms of the cost to our legal, mental health and welfare systems, and far reaching in the generational implications for parenting, relationships, family dynamics and loss of potential for victims and their children.  This training will examine the 'cold hard truth' of child abuse with particular emphasis on the impact upon the adult survivor. We will explore subsequent mental health issues, addictions, relationship/intimacy problems, parenting and family dysfunction. E aim to provide a greater insights into victim states of mind, self harming behaviours and creative strategies for working with adult survivors.

This seminar will explore the generational impact of childhood abuse, provide insights and hope for recovery. Judith will not be telling her story more than talking about  her own recovery and her experience working in the fields of mental health, homelessness and drug and alcohol support systems for the past 18 years. Paralleled experiences, recovery and beyond.

Understanding impact - will focus on survivor behaviours that we develop to protect ourselves as children and adolescence,  as adults these behaviours become counterproductive to us. They inhibit us from becoming who we truly are, experiencing happiness or managing  functioning relationships.  

Self-alignment - is about honest dialogue, with self and others, changing behaviours that enable us to change  life’s direction.

Re-writing the legacy -  taking back our power as survivor’s,  reframing our belief systems and taking control of our life's directions.

This seminar is for anyone who has experienced childhood trauma, works with those who have or loves someone who is dealing with the impact.  Refreshments provided
