Hi Hilary,

Thank you! I would love to meet you in person. It seems there’s lots to talk about.  Please see our first calendar event on our site- A Leadership Roundtable on Trauma & Resiliency for September 14th from 8-2:30 at Middlesex Community College Chapman Hall.  We’d love to have you. Please let me know when you might be able to meet!

 

Hi Rebecca, Thank you for the invitation. I will be in NYC that day. I am in CT about half the time. Let me know if you ever have meetings or events nearer to New London. Warmly, Hilary

Hi Rebecca,

Thank you for all the great work you are doing to help the world.

I am very connected to Middlesex County CT for a variety of reasons including my affiliation with Wesleyan University and that I live part-time in New London. I am a trauma psychotherapist who has a passion for writing about emotions and trauma to educate the public. We don't receive any emotions education in our formal schooling but everyone benefits from understanding how emotions work and how to work with them to achieve wellbeing. I teach a tool that enhances emotional resilience called The Change Triangle, which I adapted from the academic and clinical literature. I have a blog and many free resources on my website. If you have time and want to peruse article topics on my website, you are free to republish any of them. I have been receiving such affirming feedback that my book, It's Not Always Depression (Random House and Penguin UK, 2018) has been life-changing for many, so I just wanted to make sure you knew it exists in case it can help anyone in your community. Here's my website in case you want to poke around for what resources might benefit the Community Resilience Collaborative of Middlesex County (CT).

Warmly, Hilary

PS: I think I will be doing a talk on my book, discussing the Change Triangle as a resilience tool in November at a public event at Connecticut College if you are interested.

Rebecca:
Welcome to ACEs Connection!  It's been wonderful meeting and working with you!
