About Me
- Jenny
- I am a domestic violence advocate working in Portland, OR. I love my job. And I fear I have begun to lose some of myself. I repeat, I love my job. I feel grateful beyond belief to daily work with and for amazing human beings, to be challenged, to be always learning, to be a witness to such powerful survivor-ship. And, I know/fear/dread that it will be unmanageable if I don't find more ways to creatively and compassionately counter the vicarious trauma I imbibe every day. I don't think I'm alone in this, and I want this project to be a practice in more regular intention and healing, and also a sort of D.I.Y approach to finding new tools for self-care. Even better, I dream of it eventually being less of a "do it yourself" and more of a "muddle through this together" where we can share ideas and support around ourselves being as whole, enriched and free as those we seek to serve. I often hear advocate talk of "the work" and what I want to focus more on here, is this work in progress- I invite you to join me.
