Self-Esteem often means Recovering from Trauma


At the Institute of Self-Esteem for Africa, we believe in the sharing of stories as one powerful method of initiating the trauma recovery that so aids the re-establishment of healthy self-esteem.


Judith Lewis Herman in her book, Trauma and Recovery, 1992 puts it thus:


The Core experiences of psychological Trauma are disempowerment and disconnection from others. Recovery, therefore based upon the empowerment of the survivor and the creation of new connections.


The sharing of stories does just this.

Join us at Self-Esteem weekly Work Group on Monday nights in Wynberg, Cape Town, South Africa to begin the healing of working within a group.
These evenings are fun, supportive and transformative.
Should you wish to join us please RSVP by Mail or call our Bookings line on 073 971 1673.
