Getting Past Survivor: Recent Episodes
None
Hi! I’m Helen Brenner, a certified NLP in Hypnosis Trauma Healing Coach and former Mental Health Counselor.I lived through 8 years of childhood sexual abuse, was raped as a 7 year old (not my 8 year molester) and as a 19 year old, and experienced bullying by kids and teachers (the people who are supposed to build us up). I'm a divorcee and a widow. I've been on the roller coaster my whole life and I believe there's a place in our healing where we are no longer making choices by survivor default: We are making choices based on what we genuinely and authentically want in life. I refer to this place as "Getting Past Survivor." As I now live most of the time on the other side of survivor, my roller coaster has become enjoyable, even through my darkest moments. I share my experiences in healing and Getting Past Survivor. I talk about everything that has been impacted through my journey: Spirituality, guilt, shame, sex, relationships, money, learning, having children, being a child, being a sibling, having fun, aging, health. You name it, and it'll show up somewhere in my podcasts and blogs eventually! I'm a voice for the voiceless, standing with and for others who have experienced the unmentionable trauma that is sexual abuse! Professionally and Academically: I'm an International Coach Federation Certified Professional Coach specializing in Trauma Healing and former Mental Health Counselor. I hold a Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Trauma and Crisis Counseling, a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, 500+ hours of education and training in advanced forms of NLP in Hypnosis, Hypnosis, and Coaching. I learn all the time...like, all the time. And I pay it forward. What I learn I share in the hopes that I help at least one person out there.

My daughter and I would get into these really bad fights when she was a young adult and I was in my mid-50s. We’d be yelling at each other, talking over each other, getting really ugly with each other. Both of us defending ourselves and wanting the other to not only see our side of the situation, but to leave our own opinions behind and adopt the other’s ideas instead.
Listen as I continue to share my journey of Getting Past Survivor and how I've been able to really learn 2 or more incredibly valuable lessons from the words my mother uttered 26 years ago.
Remember, as we go through life, it's the journey, not the destination. Every day is a brilliant opportunity to learn about ourselves ... and the world around us.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
Well, yeah. Yeah they can. Words can influence us in ways the person uttering them never imagined, expected, or intended. But, yea, they definitely can hurt us. I was 25 and the sentiment in this podcast that was uttered by my mother left an indelible mark on me...influencing how I saw myself and how I perceived my worth for years to come.
28 years later, I have a whole new understanding...one that I share here, and one that will come in episode "Midol, Part 2" that'll be released soon. I hope you'll find self-understanding by what I have to say.
This was recorded during a Toastmaster's meeting. The emotions are real, the speed is quick because I was trying to be sure I fit it into the 5-7 minute range. But, like everything you'll hear or read from me... it's WYSIWYG. What you see is what you'll get. Hugs to you all!
