Consulting Support for Survivors

Thank you for your interest in my consulting services!

My intention is to provide you with knowledge, options, and connections to assist you in navigating the journey of healing with others. I draw on my experience as a survivor of multiple forms of sexual trauma who has navigated healthcare, advocacy, and holistic healing spaces, my work as a professional medical/legal advocate for survivors and their families, a campus violence prevention educator, my relationships built through running my own non-profit organization, The Breathe Network, and my training as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP).

I have interacted with hundreds of survivors along their unique trauma resilience journey and provide person-centered support that meets you where you are at today, while making space for the many possibilities ahead. During my two decades years in this field, I have collaborated with educators, activists, clinicians, advocates, volunteers, survivors, parents and children of survivors, artists, filmmakers, policy experts, and more. I believe that all of these lenses and ways of engaging with the movement to end sexual trauma and promote healing are necessary and complementary.

My approach is rooted in my direct experience as a survivor, my training as an advocate for survivors, my yoga training and practice, and my ongoing studies of Somatic Experiencing and co-regulatory touch work. Given my extensive referral network, I am able to connect you with my colleagues and mentors should we decide that you would benefit from a different provider, an alternate way of working, or simply someone with additional expertise. 

I believe there is a shared space of connection, presence, humility, creativity, and compassion that allows us to live through and beyond trauma – individually and collectively – and I hope to support you in discovering that within yourself, so you can show up for your vocation, your community, and yourself in this lifetime.

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

1.   Please describe your interest in pursuing an intentional role within the trauma healing movement as it relates to your own journey. You might consider: What may be missing from the movement that you can bring?

2.   Are you currently working with survivors, or have you in the past - whether formally or informally? What about that work empowered you, and what, if relevant, was challenging to you?

3.    Do you have specific training or experience working with trauma, grief, sexual assault, interpersonal violence, and/or recovery?

4.     In what ways do you think you could best serve survivors, the movement, and/or society?

Consulting for Healthcare and Healing Professionals - Individual Provider Form

Thank you for your interest in my consulting services!

My intention is to provide you with information, awareness, and feedback about the healthcare and healing services you offer and how they may be enhanced to best support trauma survivors as well as to support you in your practice. I draw on my experience as a survivor of trauma who has navigated myriad healthcare and healing practices – acupuncture, chiropractic, EMDR, massage therapy, naturopathic care, pelvic floor therapy, psychotherapy, group therapy, writing workshops, and yoga – all to complement and facilitate my healing. I combine my personal experience navigating practices and systems with what I have learned in my practice as a yoga teacher, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and nonprofit director over the last two decades. I have found that honesty, collaboration, flexibility, and humility in health and healing spaces lends itself to more positive impacts for everyone involved. Though my work as a medical and legal advocate, and campus educator, 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 trauma survivors.

My approach is rooted in my direct experience as a survivor, an advocate for survivors, a yoga practitioner, and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I am able to refer you to my colleagues and mentors should we decide that you require different support or additional expertise. There is no one size fits all approach to healing and there is no one way we respond to trauma, therefore, the best teachers are truly the survivors with whom you work. Still, in order to best prepare you for that work and to reduce survivors’ physiological burdens and risks of re-traumatization when meeting with new providers, I aim to instill you with the necessary information and confidence to care for your clients while caring for yourself.

There is a shared space of connection, presence, humility, creativity and compassion that allows us to live through and beyond trauma – individually and collectively – and I hope to support you in discovering that within yourself and nourishing that possibility among the individuals you serve.

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

Consulting for Healthcare and Healing Providers - Organization Form

Thank you for your interest in my consulting services!

My intention is to provide you with information, awareness and feedback about the healing services you offer and how they may be enhanced to better support trauma survivors as well as you in your practice. I draw on my experience as a survivor of trauma who has navigated myriad healing practices – acupuncture, aromatherapy, chiropractic, EMDR, massage therapy, psychotherapy, pelvic floor therapy, group therapy, and yoga – all to complement and facilitate my healing. I combine my personal experience with what I have humbly learned in my practice as a yoga teacher, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and nonprofit director over the last two decades. I have found that honesty, collaboration, flexibility, and humility in the healing spaces lends itself to more positive impacts for the survivor and their provider. Though my work as a medical and legal advocate, and campus educator, 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 trauma survivors.

My approach is rooted in my direct experience as a survivor, an advocate for survivors, a yoga practitioner, and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I am able to re-direct you to my colleagues and mentors should we decide you require different or additional expertise. There is no one size fits all approach to healing and there is no one way we respond to trauma, therefore, truly the best teachers are the survivors with whom you work. Yet, in order to best prepare you for your work with them, and to release them from the burden of having to over-explain their experience, I hope to instill you with the necessary information and confidence to care for your clients.

There is a shared space of connection, presence, humility, creativity, and compassion that allows us to live through and beyond trauma – individually and collectively – and I hope to support you in discovering that within yourself and nourishing that possibility within the individuals you serve.

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 in word or pdf to mollybharris@gmail.com
