Going Public

I believe that most people are open to learning about the phenomena of the mind's capability to compartmentalize events and traumas. I also believe that many people are unaware of the signs of physical, mental, emotional and ritual abuse. In 1998, I was asked to tell my story to a group of people who had similar stories to tell. I felt heard. I felt a kinship to those people. Today, I can say that because I have the courage to speak out, many youth and adults are not suffering in silence any longer.

Following is a list of organizations who have asked me to be a speaker at one of their conferences or classes. I am open to speaking before a variety of audiences. The more people who become aware of these types of abuse, the better it will be for other survivors and the world in general.
