Listening . . .Learning to Hear Our Own Voice

Together we have the ability to creatively take charge of our lives through self-awareness and dynamic expression. You see, there is someone who really cares what happens. It’s all about listening ~ that’s where the healing begins. The answers are right there in front of us. We hear them from each other. It’s an interactive process that empowers us. It gives us the opportunity to make different choices in our lives.

Out of personal and social conditioning, women often silence their true feelings and desires in order to maintain relationships with their mothers, with men, and with each other. Although issues of intimate personal violence, emotional abuse, and loneliness, and alcoholism may lead us to question who we are and where we are going, we have the ability to re-define our sense of self and grow. The choice is up to you. But without each other, the consequences of silence are deadly.

I’ve written a play called Ordinary Women Dying to Be Heard. It’s all about listening ~ to ourselves and to each other. Sixteen women share their personal stories about what it is like to be lonely or afraid, to be angry or depressed. But the best part is that there is hope. . . because the therapist hears their words . . .
