Healing from an abusive childhood
- a brief look at the stages involved in healing from abuse, the movement from victim to survivor to thriver, and ways to support yourself when you experience new memories of abuse surfacing.

Do you want to see a case study of someone's experience moving through the stages? Then read Jodi-Anne's new book 'The healing journey demystified: achieving sustainability one heart at a time'. Now available for purchase as an e-book (PDF) or printed book. Please note that this book shows Jodi-Anne's healing process from the early days when she was filled with anger, rage and self-loathing through to the present where she has found self-love, freedom and a belief that all has happened perfectly for her spiritual and personal development. If you are not yet open to the 'spiritual' you may find one of the more traditional healing manuals listed below more useful.

Inspirational Videos

  •  10 min video discussing author Jeremy Rifkin's view that evolution of human beings is not about survival of the fittest but about empathy. A very clever video with cartoons to explain the reasoning behind his belief that we are becoming an empathic society and the scientific findings supporting it.

  •  15 min video of Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, 2005 commencement speech to graduates of Stanford University. Steve tells 3 stories of devastating events in his life and how looking back he can see that these were exactly what he needed to enable him to achieve the success he has achieved.

  •  18 min video of Jill Bolte Taylor, a brain scientist, who was able to study herself while she had a stroke. She explains the functions of each side of the brain (Left Hemisphere = past & future focussed, linear, logical, it analyses data and projects future options based on all of that data, it sees self as an individual. Right Hemisphere = present moment focussed, senses energy, sees perfection & self as one with everything else). Science showing spiritual experiences are real and available to all!
