Becoming Whole: Healing from Emotional Abuse with Carol the Coach

Emotional abuse can have devestating affects on partners. They are so vulnerable and their self esteem is already fragile from betrayal and then they experience the emotional abuse and they question theirselves and their reality.  Raquel Custer is currently a Bloom for Women betrayal trauma coach at Addo Recovery. She is a certified life coach specializing in betrayal trauma, mindfulness practices, and family life. She is trained through APSATS, the Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists and has her own private practice, The Healer's Art, LLC. Mindfulness, meditation and body work have all been integral parts of her healing and she incorporates them into her work as a coach. Raquel has spent the last three years learning MBSR, mindfulness based stress reduction and will give us a brief introduction to the benefits of mindfulness meditation and self compassion as tools for healing trauma from betrayal. She believes that it is self compassion that helps you heal from emotional abuse.
