I feel honored to have had the opportunity to sit with ACEs Connection member, Louise Godbold, executive director of Echo, whose mission is "to educate trauma survivors (including parents and service professionals) about trauma and resilience in order to promote survivor empowerment, resolve individual and community-level trauma, and create the safe, stable, nurturing relationships that break the cycle of generational trauma". We engaged in a beautiful conversation covering such topics as:
- survivor-led healing
- her Harvey Weinstein #metoo experience
- the purpose and passion of Echo
- resilience
- alternative approaches outside of therapy for healing
- and her upcoming 2020 Annual Conference featuring Survivors Becoming Empowered!
