Unsilenced, For Good

By Dr Christine DiBlasio

Ordinary people can make an extraordinary difference. It takes courage, persistence, & passion to create change, especially when you have been silenced for so long. My mantra: "Hope is a renewable energy source." Join me in hoping & working for better.🩷

If you want someone that knows what they're talking about when writing about trauma, resilience, healing and wellbeing (and of course you do!) who better than a psychologist? Then look no further than Psychologist (and karate black belt!) Dr. Christine DiBlasio and her Substack. And she does all this with a sprinkling of humour and cute photos of squirrels and cats - and who doesn't like cute animal pics?!
