She was so greatly helped by these modalities (among many others), and has studied them for the last 10 years to help herself and others on the road to health and happiness.

Catherine Partheniades - SURVIVOR of Homophobia

6/29/2021

WARNING: this episode contains strong language which may be unsuitable for children. Listener discretion is advised. Catherine was adopted as a baby, but didn’t find out the truth of her adoption until she was in her 30’s. She also endured struggles with her identity because she was gay. As much love as she received growing up, her household was not the most openminded in accepting her truth. After coming out, it took almost 8 years for her to be completely secure with herself. She grew to love herself, and with the love and support of her wife, they share a special love and bond. She is grateful for all her struggles in her life because without them she would not be the person she is today.
