Those of you who know me, know that my phone has been ringing off the hook with doctors, nurses, EMTs, therapists, educators, parents, and anyone directly impacted in their professional and personal life by COVID-19. In addition, there are people whose financial and personal lives are completely blowing up with no actual sense of ways to collect the shattered pieces and put things together again. No matter who is calling me, their age or place in life, the questions are the same.
What do we do for:
Ourselves?
Our partners?
Our children?
Our parents?
Our students?
Our friends?
Our coworkers?
Our employees?
Our world?
From experience working with trauma and recovery, I know that the answer to each question is very individual. The goodwill and support of effective facilitators in a safe environment guarantees many new possibilities. You can not be led out of confusion without the guidance of those who know the path ahead. What also is extremely valuable to restoring an individual's energy is a tribe/community of like minded people with the same concerns who are willing to come together to discover solutions.
WE WILL DO IT TOGETHER.
Since the particular needs of people in specific professional and personal situations are so different, I will do a series of introductory zoom workshops to assess what is needed for ongoing support. We will explore the most urgent needs and ways that can be offered to serve each population. We must find balance within to bring that into our world.
Those of you who do not know me, would not know this is not my first rodeo with a national crisis that involved many thousands of people. I'm often called on by people from all over this country and several other countries in the world to assist in creating healing responses to difficult problems.
After 9/11, my practice was filled with people who had a direct exposure to the event and needed immediate care. I invited a team of healers and therapists to gather at The Phoenix and The Rose, my healing center, to give ongoing care until the crisis subsided. For almost 2 months there was a constant flow of people needing and receiving help to alleviate their immediate trauma so they could return to work and bring their families back to normalcy. I created ongoing programs for people to heal their delayed and extended responses to the trauma.
The people who participated in doing ongoing work over time were able to go back to their lives enriched by overcoming their pain. The people who avoided doing deeper work were surprised that years later any unexpected change put them into deep states of despair. With the COVID-19 virus affecting absolutely everyone, we must create an antidote to the poison that could create ongoing pain for people of all ages in all aspects of life. My belief is that discouragement is more destructive and virulent than the virus itself.
The people reaching out to me in a state of crisis range from ages 5 to 85 years of age, and are in every stage of life and profession. So, I took time the past few weeks to talk with colleagues I respect. We agreed to form teams to help people come to an acceptance of the way their lives have changed, perhaps forever. We are very excited to work together to help every individual find a step by step way out of chaos. THE BRIDGE BETWEEN is how we dream a new world into being and use every experience to deepen our commitment to life. We each build our bridge from this moment of disillusionment to an even more profound dream. None of us can do this alone.
WE WILL DO IT TOGETHER.
