Bio
Currently coping with the death of my husband. The difficulties in this finally forced me to confront stuff from the past which I had previously had a go at 20 years ago. I am receiving text therapy here at 7 cups, which is an interesting experience. Am also in face to face therapy. Much harder. Also doing Trauma sensitive yoga and a lot of other body work, tai chi, cranial-sacral therapy using Peter Levine's books and CDs on somatic experiencing. The aim is to unlock and discharge the body stress of the childhood trauma. I am active in many community activities and very involved in music and music making. I sing. And I am tired! Before retirement I was a psychologist specialising in criminal behaviour but had worked in educational, research and clinical settings.
