Inspiration for You from the Presenter, Brian Kimmel: In 1992 when I was twelve years old I testified in court against my former stepfather who sexually abused me. He was convicted and sentenced to fifteen years in a Washington State Penitentiary. Although my stepfather was imprisoned, the effects of what he did swept through me like a tornado. I sought many different kinds of therapies, but it wasn’t until I found yoga and Buddhism in 1996 that I began to reconcile the hurts and pains that had until then ravaged me to my core. I began teaching workshops on wellness and mindfulness in 1999, and have been influenced since by many teachings, spiritual teachers and traditions from around the world. The practices and trainings in the workshops, services and products I provide are some I have used in my own recovery as well as those I have learned to help others in theirs.

Not sure if you're a thriver? Check out this Ezine article I found called How to Change From Victim to a Survivor to a Thriver. Although the article is written in business terms it may be very helpful for you in determining where you are in terms of your healing and recovering, or what kind of people you wish to serve or are servivng in your practice, or people you are in relationship with. This article discusses three different kinds of people: The Victim, The Survivor and The Thriver. With this knowledge you can identify the category you are in, and choose which category you prefer, and change yourself accordingly. If you want to be a thriver and already identify yourself as one, but need the tools to help support you my workshop on Healing Abuse with Mindfulness and Love will help you Thrive!
