'Breaking free from sexual trauma, with Anne Richardson'

Anne Marie RichardsonAuthor, Spiritual Director, Workshop Presenter, Leader of Not Alone Groups.You Are Not Alone. And You Were Never Meant to Heal Alone. Christ-Centered Healing and Training for Trauma Recovery. If you’ve experienced trauma and long for healing that goes deeper than words—If you’re a spiritual director who wants to walk alongside survivors with wisdom and compassion— this is the place for you.I have been a Christ follower all my life. Through a mid-life crisis, is where I drew much closer God. The pain I felt led me to therapy where I discovered how my childhood wounds affected me. I was molested by my friend’s father as a little girl. Although therapy was necessary and insightful, deeper healing has come from God by engaging in spiritual practices. After a time of healing, I started sharing my story and then other survivors shared their stories with me. Gathering these stories, with permission, along with many spiritual practices that heal, I wrote two books, called Not Alone. My passion is to see survivors become freer internally, to be the person God created them to be. Some years ago, I was searching for a deeper relationship with God. I felt something was missing and that there was more meaning to life. This led me to Spiritual Direction, where I discovered how much God truly loves and desires an intimate relationship with me. After retiring as an audiologist, I became certified as a Spiritual Director. I moved from helping people hear their external world to listening to their internal world. I approach spiritual direction more like spiritual companionship, offering encouragement and listening, and asking open-ended questions to help one draw closer to God. I know what it is like to long for a deeper relationship with God. I know what it is like to long for deeper healing and freedom from trauma. There is hope for you.
