Thank you for your interest in my consulting services! My intention is to provide you with knowledge, awareness, and feedback about the advocacy and support services you offer related to sexual trauma on your campus community. I draw upon my experience as a survivor of sexual trauma who has navigated myriad paths to healing and recovery, various medical and legal systems, the persistent and embodied social impacts of trauma, along with my training as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). In addition, having worked as an advocate and prevention educator on two college campuses, a medical & legal advocate at multiple rape crisis centers, and as a trauma-informed yoga teacher and trainer - I have interacted with hundreds of survivors and their communities along their unique trauma resilience journey. I have also worked closely with families and significant others of survivors, their friends, communities, and individuals seeking to identify their role in the movement to support this population as allies and sources of support.
My approach is rooted in my direct experience as a survivor, an advocate, a yoga teacher, my graduate research on somatic healing after sexual violence, trauma resilience, and my training and ongoing study of Somatic Experiencing. Due to my experiences from various angles of this issue - as a survivor, an advocate, an educator, a healer, and a nonprofit director - I can effectively act as a bridge to enhance communication and collaboration among students, staff, faculty, and the broader community.
Thank you for taking the time to respond to these questions, I look forward to working together. Please send your responses to me either in an email or you can send them as an attachment to mollybharris@gmail.com.
