"This course is the first time I’ve looked back at my life and made the connection between what happened to me as a kid and why I’m here. It gave me the tools to actually begin healing.”
“It made me realise the way I acted throughout the years – It’s had a big impact on the way I behaved. It’s made me realise and accept my trauma and how to deal with my trauma.”
“It has made me understand why some people act the way they do. Without the knowledge from the course, I was not very understanding towards others that behaved in an inexplicable way.”
“I try to understand people instead of judge them by their behavior.”
“I have learnt how to look at others and learned we all have issues and not to judge.”
“I’ve got a much deeper understanding of myself, what made me tick and now what makes me tick. I have gained strength to open out and up to others. I also have further developed my skills when faced with various conflicts.”
“The biggest benefit for me is understanding the impact my childhood has had on my life. I have been able to understand how trauma has affected me. I have noticed I am more patient with others and because of my ability to help myself when I was not happy, I’m sleeping better.”
“My anxiety and panic attacks (that have been constants in my life for the past 10 years) have reduced to nil.”
“What I thought as a child was normal but now realise isn’t”
“Learning this was huge for me. It made me understand a lot more about myself. Making me more aware that trauma has many faces and understanding the meaning of trauma.”
“It addresses many key issues in our lives, prior to addictions and offending. This is a vital program for all prisoner's future wellbeing. It will help the needed healing to come in us and our communities.”
“We all need healing, and this would make the world a better place.”
