511 Willie Handler: A Front-Row Seat To A Jewish Family's Trauma and Resilience

from Neff Inspiration · host Neff Inspiration

In Willie’s words:  I am a child of Holocaust survivors who are both very traumatized. My story is that I experience childhood trauma and generational trauma that I had bottled up for decades. In 2021 I began working on a memoir that unleashed a torrent and buried trauma and memories. I saw therapy in over the last 12 months working on healing myself. Part of that Journey includes managing that inner voice and now I'm working on a book on generational trauma to help others like me. This book provides a front-row seat to a Jewish family's trauma and resilience.  3 Top Tips  1. Therapy is hard work and many people give up. 2. There is no cure for trauma but you can learn how to manage it. 3. To make therapy a success you have to find a therapist you are comfortable working with.  Social Media Twitter: @WillieHandler Instagram: @williehandler Website: williehandler.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
