I have a couple in mind and obviously their names would remain anonymous but I'm pretty sure they would be happy to let me use their process as an example of how it worked for them. (I'm a little unclear as to the format; if it needs to be a couple that I start with new for the article then I could do that as well.)” “I also work with women who have been sexually abused and I could document the healing path from experiencing life as a victim to claiming the strengths and gifts that can be gleaned from the difficult experiences in our lives. I think that reading about the transformative journey from powerlessness to empowerment and all that goes into the process, discovering the wholeness that they think is gone, only to find how amazing they truly are is pretty inspiring. I know my clients inspire me every day.”
