Review for Bridges For Women Program Inc, Albuquerque, NM, USA
After 4 years of 24/7 childhood-trauma memory work I found myself at Bridges door step with little awareness of the shift I required and not knowing if they could help me move forward. When they told me "this is the program for you!", I thought they were crazy! I thought I would never fit anywhere ever again. Then my first day in class I had a breakdown in the bathroom because I realized how far from Society I was after 4 years of healing work. I worked very hard in the 6 month program to bridge gaps in my memory and brain function, relate to people, articulate myself again. I graduated because I had non-judgemental support from people who accepted me in the moment - where I was - and where I wanted to be next - and it was all on my own terms! After graduation I did 7 days of "0 Trace" living Mountaineering with Outward Bound, then was asked to volunteer as the Bridges IT Technician. 5 years later I am still there ... developed BridgesIT Support Services to raise IT standards every year which support clients, volunteers and staff who participate in the many facets of Bridges ... including the visionary aspects at work to help even more people move forward! Why? Because I know that Bridges has a transformative Recipe that works, and can be applied to many areas of transition in our community. I know it works! I am a graduate!
