She has worked in the mental health field for two decades. Her work experience includes working for social services, not-for-profit agencies, state mental health facilities, and the school system. She believes that, because of the silence that she was bound to, her educational pursuits and work experiences assisted her with developing the necessary discernment skills that aided her with finding the words that are written in this book. For sure, every experience and every life transition became an opportunity to observe, grow and discover what was typical, average and normal development. Olivia believes that the examination and analysis of one’s own unrealized spiritual or intellectual capacity is something that everyone could benefit from, but emphasizes that it is essential for victims of childhood trauma to do the work of self-exploration. She knows that healing requires a lot of personal investment of time and that recovery work is arduous. Her journey was done in silence and it was a lonely place to be. Her story does not spend a lot of time on the act of incest because it is, in her opinion, the cultural taboos that keep incest silent, which kept her locked in pain. She believes that until we can take the sting out of the word, incest, people will remain trapped in shame and humiliation.visualizza meno
