The Trauma Therapist

I have lived through the unthinkable. I have experienced the devastation, the crushed soul, and shattered heart. I can connect with you from a place that knows what it’s like to live with such intense pain, to live with so much guilt and shame that it seems impossible to speak to yourself with loving kindness. Yet, I survived, I’m still surviving, and my heart has discovered that post-traumatic growth, is, in fact a thing. I am a Royal Air Force Veteran, turned Physical Therapist Assistant, turned Wellness Coach.I sit in a unique situation, where I can seek to understand your pain and wellbeing challenges, from a heart that has a sense of knowing what it’s like. A heart that is sensitive and compassionate to what you are going through, and a heart that will advocate for your health and wellbeing, just as much as my own.I am on a journey of rediscovering my wellness. A journey where I’m learning to live alongside my pain instead of being wholly consumed by it. Now, I am wholeheartedly devoted to helping you do the same. You are so worth it."What you leave behind is not what is engraved into stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others". PericlesIt is my mission is to fill the world with positive energy and hope, just like Madeline did when she was here on earth. In all that I do, I honor her energy and love for filling up others people's buckets.In This EpisodeSarah’s site: Wellshine CoachingHeartMathMadeline’s tribute videoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.You can learn more about what I do here:The Trauma Therapist Newsletter: celebrates the people and voices in the mental health profession.

Marie has worked in the field of trauma, addiction and sexuality for over 15 years, beginning with research work during her undergraduate degree in the areas of aging and sexuality, and sexual experiences for men and women and ‘non-normative’ sexual patterns.During my graduate degree, I received extensive training in working with sexually compulsive clients. Additionally, I am a Sex Therapist certification candidate and am excited to support a vast landscape of sexuality as I expand my understanding about human sexuality in supporting diverse clients.Marie has also been trained to work alongside marginalized populations such as sex workers and Transgender individuals. Other areas of clinical specialization include, sexual trauma, erectile dysfunction, and chronic pelvic pain.These experiences have informed how she views the continuum of sexuality which has various expressions and depth. Her range of expertise spans from the shadow side (including out of control sexual behaviour and the effect on partners), to sex therapy and the rainbow end of the spectrum with more nuanced behaviours through mutual negotiation and consent.In This EpisodeMarie’s websiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.You can learn more about what I do here:The Trauma Therapist Newsletter: celebrates the people and voices in the mental health profession.

After graduating from Curtin University with a degree in marketing, she worked in public relations and marketing until she met her American husband, Daniel, when he was traveling through Malaysia. Since then, they have lived together in Japan, Canada (where Amelia obtained a second degree in human ecology from the University of Western Ontario), and Kentucky, and had two daughters together.Amelia Zachry is a writer and an advocate for sexual assault survivors and those who suffer from mental illness.Her experience with sexual assault and the mental illness that followed has been one in secrecy, born of fear and shame. Going undiagnosed and untreated, she suffered in silence. Maladaptive behaviors that affected her life were just part of the norm. Once diagnosed, she learned about treatment and therapy and a methodology to regain her life.Now, she’s walking the journey in recovery and she’s taken to writing to break the silence. Her book, Enough, which is a book about hope and inspiration, is an homage to all those suffering in silence.She was recently published on HuffPost and Moms Don’t Have Time to Write, and blogs weekly at https://ameliazachry.com, where you can find a list of her recent appearances and more information about her and her work.
