The guest speaker for our virtual meeting on Aug. 22 was Dr. Bobbi Lambert, author of the book, From Trauma to Healing: Seeking Solace and Safe Places to Fall. Her long career as an expert in the fields of workplace trauma and grief arose from personal experience – when she was in her early 30s, her father was murdered.
Bobbi explained that trauma comes in many forms and is unique to each person. Whether big or small, unresolved trauma can damage relationships, threaten your health and happiness, and negatively impact quality of life. She stressed the importance of finding a safe place and safe people, and spoke of the transformative power of unconditional love.
