Frequently Asked Questions

Help you required to find out what are you looking for

Childhood trauma and abuse stem from the negative impact of the actions of others on/with children. Trauma is not limited to only physical abuse like sexual assault, molestation; it also encompasses abuse, neglect and household dysfunction. The impacts of child abuse also come from passive abuse like narcissistic behavior from adults, being talked down to, shaming, having right taken away, and being scolded or punished for healthy child-like behaviours.

Child abuse and trauma can also come from adults failing to act in ways that protect children. Abuse causes injury, death, emotional harm, or risk of serious harm to a child. There are many forms of traumatic childhood experiences, including neglect and exploitation.

An approximate 70% of adults in the world have encountered at least one traumatic event in their life that has forever influenced them. Some of these events are child abuse, domestic abuse, deaths, accidents, and mental, emotional, unwanted touch, and physical traumas

This is a great question and the number one reason that I coach Trauma survivors around the world, why are you stuck and how can we get you to overcome? Unhealed emotional wounds, narratives we hold on too, day to day stress could be some of the reasons why you are not fully enjoying your potential and living the life that you want. The first step is possible once you understand the practical and real-life ways that you take that step.

As a coach for adult survivors of child abuse and neglect, I have lived experience of abuse and neglect. My story is not that different from many thousands of people in the world. I was raised by several people growing up, both inside and outside of my family. When I was sent to live with a new caregiver in the city, during that time play was not allowed. My daily routine consisted of chores and homework and I was not allowed to speak when the adults were talking unless I was spoken to. My chores increased significantly when the wife of my caregiver suddenly passed away. I started cooking, cleaning and taking care of my younger sister, I also became quiet. I was focused on my tasks, protecting my sister, covering school work and avoiding beatings. The last caregiver I had before reuniting with my mother was an alcoholic who owned a bar in the compound where we lived in Kumba, Cameroon. She promised Mom she would take good care of us and once Mom was gone, she turned me into a mini house manager at 13. For the next three years, I cooked, cleaned, sold in the bar, managed her money, worked hard for school, and took care of my sister and other children this woman had in her care. I have worked on my healing and trained as a coach to help others find peace.

Therapists will typically concentrate on pain areas of the past, use a passive/non-active way, look at things through a diagnostic or medical approach. Therapy also takes a significant amount of time and devotion. Finding real efficiency in therapy can take years and even decades. Finding the right therapist plays a crucial role in a restorative manner. A coach focuses on the present and the future.

I have been sharing my story and guidance for a couple of years now. In that process, I have guided many people to a better understanding of themselves. It has been through the process created that they have been capable of turning dreams into reality.

Becoming my true self. Stepping into my potential and becoming who I truly am is the hardest thing I have ever done. Surviving child abuse was the first step, what I am doing now, is practicing tools that allow me to thrive.

I work with survivors who are ready to do the work to go from stuck to freedom, they are ready to commit and make the changes that will free them and allow them to thrive in the present and look to the future with serenity. 

I work to provide drive and guidance to my clients so they may respond to challenges, improve relationships and live a full and rewarding life after trauma. The focus is on changing negative conditions and creating outcomes that are measurable, generating powerful solutions in a positive environment. Through powerful questioning and other methods we will discover what we need to work on.
