Violence.
We often hear about violent acts within our community and on the evening news, but what we don’t hear is how the victim is coping and what affect it has had on the individual.
We don’t speak about our experiences with violence because we’re afraid of…
… being judged
… being seen as helpless
… others not believing us
“…once upon a time I felt hopeless, lost, voiceless and unworthy.” – Nez Erok
At Zen Life Counselling Nez offers a safe and relaxed atmosphere for individuals to discuss their worries, concerns and experiences.
