CREATIVE HEART HEALING
I'm Di Frost and my message to the world is that healing from childhood trauma is possible. I am living proof of that.
As a psychologist and a survivor I am in the unique position of understanding the science behind the impact of trauma on the developing brain and, from my own life experience, what it takes to heal from childhood trauma.
I have established Creative Heart Healing as a base to support other survivors on their healing journeys as well as providing up to date information and trauma training for carers, counsellors and therapists.
I have 3 main ways of sharing what I know:
- I provide professional development training for other mental health professionals, carers, support workers and educators focussing on powerful strategies for working with survivors - see Trauma Training page
- I run healing retreats to provide survivors with a safe place, quality time and the supportive space needed for healing - See Heart Healing Retreats page
- I work with individual survivors in private practice in Kempsey on the beautiful mid-north coast of NSW. See the contact page for further information.
Survivors of childhood trauma often suffer from a range of mental health and social issues including:
- PTSD
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Addictions
- Eating disorders
- Self-harm
- Suicidality
- Relationship issues
- Bullying
- Emotional reactivity
Recovery from the impacts of complex trauma is one of the most difficult psychological, emotional and spiritual challenges a person can face. It requires a holistic approach with support from survivors' family, friends, and health professionals utilising proven strategies to rewire the brain.
"For me, it was a long, slow, 7 year process of recovery from mental illness. I am still on the healing journey and I sometimes still have challenges and triggers needing attention and processing.
"My aim is to utilise what I know from psychological research, evidence-based practice and my own experience to walk alongside and support others on their healing journeys towards health and wholeness."
