About Efu

Euphrasia (Éfu) Nyaki was born and raised in Tanzania where I earned a bachelor of science degree, trained as a Science teacher, and later on was trained as a healer using holistic methods from my own ancestors. When I was 27 years old I travelled to the USA where I joined a religious order, and four years later I moved to Brazil where I have been living for the past 30 years. In Brazil I have been working with popular movements especially with women groups facilitating training and therapy for trauma healing using Somatic Experiencing ® ️ trauma resolution and Family Constellation Systems Therapy. I also co- founded an NGO known as AFYA: Holistic Healing Center located in the northeast of Brazil. I am a Faculty Member of Somatic Experiencing®️, and a Professor of Family Constellation System Therapy by Hellinger Institute, and with these tools, I have been travelling to different countries (India, Egypt, South Korea, China, Bolivia, Peru, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Uruguay, Tanzania, USA ) facilitating trainings and workshops on trauma healing.

Her company is inspired by her own experience with self-forgiveness and her journey toward self-worth and self-love.

Failing forward involves shifting our perspective to focus on the positives of what did happen rather than dwelling on what did not. Instead of fixating on perceived failures or setbacks, we can choose to learn and grow from them. It's not the goals that you have failed or missed but sometimes the goalpost needs changing. Embracing a mindset of resilience and gratitude allows us to recognize the valuable lessons and opportunities hidden within each experience. By reframing failures as stepping stones toward progress and success, we unlock our potential, cultivate perseverance, and pave the way for future achievements.

In this episode of Hey, I’m Listening, Dr. Joan speaks with Shireen Spencer about Failing Forward

Shireen Spencer is a woman who wears many hats - Pastor, Author, Teacher, Mary Kay Business Owner, Life Coach, and Officiant to name a few.

The obsession with productivity often results in neglecting self-care, personal relationships, and overall life balance.

The absence of performance can offer a transformative shift in mindset when it comes to the pursuit of happiness. In a society driven by productivity and achievement, we often equate our self-worth with external accomplishments. However, when we let go of the pressure to constantly perform and achieve, and focus on inner growth rather than external validation, we create space for a more authentic and fulfilling experience of happiness, independent of our accomplishments.

The pursuit of happiness has long been ingrained in our collective consciousness as a fundamental goal in life. It is often believed that happiness is a destination to be relentlessly pursued, an elusive state that promises fulfillment and contentment. However, the notion of attaining a permanent state of happiness may be misleading as happiness is an emotion. True happiness is not something that can be learned or achieved through a single, definitive path. Instead, it is an ever-evolving journey that involves self-discovery and identity.

Opting for the good thing often involves seeking temporary pleasures, material success, or societal approval. Conversely, choosing the God thing entails surrendering to a deeper calling, following one's spiritual path, and living in alignment with one's values and beliefs. While the good thing may bring short-term gratification, the God thing leads to long-lasting fulfillment and a sense of purpose. It may be difficult to let go of the “good thing” but the “God thing” is always a better decision.

A divorce does not always have to be riddled with bitterness and animosity. It can be approached with a focus on personal growth and embracing the positive side rather than the negative. By redirecting one’s energy towards self-discovery and exploring new opportunities in life, now that the constraints of that relationship no longer exist, one can lean into oneself, find strength, resilience, and the potential to accomplish great things in their newfound independence, and be pretty divorce.

In this episode of Hey, I’m Listening, Dr. Joan speaks with Marie Mosley about her book Pretty Divorce

Managing internal and external conflict requires a delicate balance of self-reflection and effective communication. Internally, it involves understanding our own emotions, values, and needs, and finding healthy ways to address and resolve conflicts within ourselves. Externally, it requires open and respectful dialogue, active listening, and finding common ground with others involved in the conflict.

The desire to have children varies among individuals, driven by diverse motivations. Some seek to create a biological legacy, while others yearn for something greater than themselves or to fill an emotional void. Validation and the aspiration to build a loving family are also common reasons. However, it is crucial to recognize that solely focusing on the pursuit of a biological child can lead to neglecting other important aspects of life, potentially causing harm. It is essential to cultivate self-love, embrace the entirety of our lives, cherish our relationships, and nurture the inner aspects of ourselves as much as we value the external.

Often, we fail to recognize that within us lies an inner strength, resilience, and faith that can be harnessed to overcome the challenges we face. God, in His infinite wisdom, knows exactly what we need and how to reach us, even when we feel lost or overwhelmed. He can use our unique gifts, experiences, and even our struggles as instruments of His grace and deliverance. So, when chaos surrounds us, let us have faith that within the storm, God's hand is at work, ready to utilize what we have to bring us to a place of peace, restoration, and a deeper connection with Him.

Recognizing this, we must guard our minds against distractions, choosing instead to renew our thoughts with God's truth and embracing the transformative power of His Word.

Playing small is a self-imposed limitation that prevents individuals from reaching their full potential. Despite the many gifts and talents of the members of the Black community, we are constantly playing small and shying away from our strengths. Stepping out of the confines of playing small requires embracing vulnerability, one's unique strengths, and daring to take risks. Only by embracing the true potential can the Black nation break free from the shackles of historical trauma, and limitations and embark on a journey of self-discovery, achievement, and genuine fulfillment.

The Black Community often conceal the traumas they face to avoid oversharing. As a result, certain expectations have been placed on Black people to be strong and perfect while denying them of the chance to be vulnerable. When we share our stories and experiences as a people, we can create healing communities that would help others experiencing traumas heal or even avoid trauma altogether. Creating authentic communities is critical to our collective healing.

In this episode of Hey, I’m Listening, Dr. Joan speaks with Bianca Hughes about Creating Authentic Communities by Sharing Our Stories

Bianca Kesha Hughes is setting boundaries and breaking barriers. Known for authenticity and heart-work services, Bianca is the ultimate trailblazer in the mental health and wellness field as a therapist, speaker, and podcast host, inspiring her audience to let go of the illusion of perfectionism. Bianca helps women overwhelmed with perfectionism connect to their inner selves to embrace their imperfections and authentically be themselves essentially. Her podcast, "It Didn't Break Me," creates a space for honest and vulnerable conversations. Her guests share their stories on the messy stuff they didn't think they'd come back from yet they are still here.

The consistent and exhausting circle of trying to be enough, and trying to be perfect comes from a fear of judgment or disapproval from others and the feeling of not being enough. Pursuing perfection prevents you from being your authentic self and keeps you from seeing the value in all you have done despite your high achievement. Overcoming perfectionism requires a lot of personal work, self-acceptance, and that you slow down.

In this episode of Hey, I’m Listening, Dr. Joan speaks with Bianca Hughes about Overcoming Perfectionism

Your beliefs, which you acquire over time, serve as filters through which you interpret life. They determine your focus, what you pay attention to, what you ignore, the clarity with which you observe and analyze experiences, your viewpoints on events, and the color of your interpretations. Your belief system can form your reality by affecting not only your own behavior but also the behavior of others toward you.

In this episode of Hey, I’m Listening, Dr. Joan speaks with Kimone Gustave about How Your Belief System Shapes Your Reality

Revisiting traumatic experiences through flashbacks and recollections can be extremely difficult and painful. It takes the mind through a dark experience that feels like re-experiencing the trauma. In order to change perspectives, forgive yourselves and others, find closure, put meaning back into past life events, and journey with God into the future, you may need to revisit that experience. Have you gone through your healing journey?

There's an old adage that goes, "Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life." While this is intended for achieving a sense of fulfillment in your life while working, most individuals are torn between doing what they love and surviving. Due to the history of the Black community, most of the elders ignored what they loved, to focus on what helped them make a living. Right now, the younger generation seeks to find and chase what they love but are not sure how to make a living from it. How do you take what you love and are passionate about into an entrepreneurial endeavor?

When was the last time you went a whole day being yourself?

Being yourself comes down to prioritizing yourself and your dreams. It's tempting now more than ever to get lost in the identity, opinions, and dreams of others now more than ever, and this could come from the fear of challenges when chasing your dreams, and the fear of failure. While these are valid, the benefits of following your dreams far outweigh the cons. Ask yourself, "Am I stepping away from myself and my dreams right now, or am I in complete alignment with who I am?"

Discovering your passion is one of the greatest gifts that you can have. It takes you through a journey of self-discovery and self-approval rather than being dependent on external approval. Some people find their passion quite easily, others have to go through a long process to discover what they are passionate about. And this could take doing things you are not passionate about to find your passion. First, you have to decide to be yourself and know that it takes work to sit down, meditate, reflect, find your passion, and ask “What is my goal?”

Perfectionism might seem like a minor hurdle to overcome but most of us are not aware that perfectionism is connected with that core belief that you are not enough or that what you have is insufficient. And this has led people to go beyond striving for excellence to experiencing mental breakdown when they fail to meet an unrealistic need to be literally “perfect” in various areas of life.

In this episode of Hey, I’m Listening, Dr. Joan speaks with Tia Rucker about Perfectionism: Not Being Good Enough

Tia Rucker is a Certified Life Coach and Reiki Master who specializes in various healing modalities. She is a living testament to her motto- Exist to Purpose. Trauma, grief, and addiction caused her to spiral down and hit rock bottom on multiple occasions. Tia suffered from high achievers syndrome as she strived for society's vision of success. She had it all... "Perfect" job, home, family, and multiple degrees. Intuitively, Tia knew something was missing and went on a quest to find it

In moments we have to choose between seeing things through or moving in a new direction, we don't always get it right 100% of the time. We choose our careers and it feels wrong. We start a business and that feels wrong. We found the guy or the girl, and make the commitment and that feels wrong too. Course correction helps you to be introspective acknowledge the mistakes head-on, grow from them and change to a direction that serves your purpose. It is not always easy to course correct but it is necessary.

The Fierce GentlenessTM framework is built on awareness, boundaries, and faith. There has been an acceptance and normalization of menstruating women's pain, which has resulted in health issues. A good number of women are not aware of the realities of their being and body, and this has led to continual suffering. Some of the ways women can leverage their power is by understanding their being, the needs, and wants of the body, and knowing how to set healthy boundaries.

80% of our health problems are coming from stress. For women, the bleeding phase of the menstrual cycle is the time when your energy and hormones are at an all-time low. This period comes with different moods and a few days of rest are needed. When a woman communicates with her body, she understands her mood swings, wants, and needs, and she feels more in control of her life.

According to research, the number of incarcerated women increased by more than 475% between 1980 and 2020, rising from 26,326 in 1980 to 152,854 in 2020. Unfortunately, women in prison are not provided with the necessary amenities to maintain their health. The current provision of health care to imprisoned women falls far short of what is required by human rights and international recommendations in far too many cases.

Even before entering prison, incarcerated people are more likely to have experienced abuse and trauma than those on the outside. The effects of this earlier trauma follow people into incarceration, and this trauma is exacerbated by the dehumanization of the criminal justice system. Irritability and aggressive behavior are also common responses to trauma, making incarcerated people more vulnerable to substance abuse, PTSD, depression, and criminal behavior. How can we break the cycle of trauma and shift our focus away from incarceration and toward rehabilitation?

One in every five people imprisoned worldwide is held in the United States. According to a 2014 Human Rights Watch report, "tough-on-crime" legislation enacted since the 1980s has filled American prisons with mostly nonviolent offenders. Many people have been traumatized, many homes have been destroyed, and others are reliving the enslavement era. Is the enslavement experience being legalized through mass incarceration?

Black History Month 2023 offers our Nation the opportunity to finally make the decision to heal. We need to contemplate the forgiveness of the Europeans, and other Nations, and the Forgiveness of ourselves so we don’t repeat the atrocities done to us.

We can no longer perceive traumatic events as something that happens to an individual with no ramification for everyone else in the community. A trauma endured by one person, is experienced by all members of their family and all members of the community not because of some conscious awareness of the individual's experience, but the energetic and spiritual interconnectedness we all share.

Black History month makes it possible for the entire nation to free itself from the trauma triangle. The drama triangle (first described by Stephen Karpman in 1961) is used in psychology to describe the process through which we assimilate the roles of 3 individuals present in every traumatic moment: 1) the Victim (usually ourselves), 2) the persecutor or the one who wronged us, 3) the rescuer ( the person who was supposed to stop the event or comfort us in the aftermath but did not).

Whether it is a mental glitch or some highly complex process through which we heal, we replay the traumatic moment with new people adopting the role as persecutor and rescuer. We do this again and again until a moment of climax or divine intervention (i.e. cancer, divorce, life-threatening accident) forces us to end the trauma cycle and end the desire to become a victim once more.

In this episode of Hey, I’m Listening, Dr. Joan speaks about The death of Tyre Nichols as a moment of climax in the Trauma Triangle cycle.

Sometimes we go through life and encounter difficult situations; some we brush off, while others leave us traumatized for a long time, leaving us questioning our lives and wanting to die. How do you deal with your own pain or the pain of others? Sometimes being present and holding someone through their pain is all that is required. Reminding yourself that you have the ability to heal and tell your story.

In today's society, It is difficult for sexual assault survivors to muster the courage to speak out on their own, and this is made worse due to a lot of victim-blaming. 55% of sexual harassment victims face retaliation after speaking up or filing a claim. Many victims are afraid to speak up for fear of feeling responsible for the abuse or causing direct physical harm. This could result in extreme anxiety, depression, fear, insecurities, trauma, and, in some cases, suicide.  

In this episode of Hey, I'm Listening, Dr. Joan speaks with Marsha Miller about presence, love, and acceptance in trauma, and how a friend brought her out of a very dark place and into a journey of transformation.  Marsha Miller is a financial adviser keen on educating and empowering families to become financially independent.

How do you talk to yourself? 

Coach Drew, a psychotherapist, and Healing Communications coach say "how you speak to yourself when you mess up, is how you speak to others when they mess up."   

In this powerful conversation, Coach Drew gets personal and talks about a pivotal moment when he discovered he 'hated" himself. He talks about using journaling and other techniques to migrate from a place of self-hate to a place of self-love. Coach Drew, like so many others who grew up in a Caribbean household, had a difficult time navigating the father-son relationship as well as the many experiences with Black men that made him feel like an 8-year-old boy, who could never measure up.

Listen to a beautiful conversation about growing up, overcoming spiritual anxiety, and recognizing who you really are. Listen to a Black therapist and coach talk about his journey of transformation, how it lead him to write a book about the genuine apology and how that transformation has led him to now focus on the restoration of healing communications in the Black family.

Today, in the United States there are more than 42 million survivors of sexual abuse. 1 in 3 girls is sexually abused before the age of 18. 1 in 5 boys is sexually abused before the age of 18. 30% of sexual abuse is never reported. 90% of child sexual abuse victims know the perpetrator in some way. There is worse lasting emotional damage when a child’s sexual abuse started before the age of six, and lasted for several years. Among child and teen victims of sexual abuse, there is a 42 percent increased chance of suicidal thoughts during adolescence.

Latisha B. Russell and I begin our conversation by focusing on the 3 things children must do to protect themselves from sexual abuse.

With a bachelor’s degree in Communications from Ball State University, a Master’s degree in Organizational Development and Human Resources from the University of Phoenix, Colorado, and adjunct professor appointments at multiple colleges and universities, Latisha has always touted the importance of education. For Latisha, the topic of child sexual abuse is a personal one. Using her own experiences, she has made it her mission to inspire women of sexual trauma by sharing her story of triumph and overcoming.
