Tara Pyfrom grew up in the beautiful Bahamas. She comes from a long line of family members who lived there for generations. Residents there are used to hurricanes.In 2019 Tara's beloved island experienced the wrath of Hurricane Dorian, the biggest cyclone to hit the Bahamas. Tara, her wife and daughter watched as their home filled with water, making its way all the way up to the attic.Once the storm passed and they were forced to evacuate, they needed to find a place to live and eventually found their way to Canada.  We spoke about living through the scariest moments of the hurricane, the moments of problem-solving, the benefits of therapy and seeking all different types of it, the purpose she found from this challenge and where she draws her resilience. I want to thank Tara Pyfrom for speaking with me, sharing her story of surviving Hurricane Dorian and the purpose she found in writing for self care and to create a book about her experience. This episode covers:surviving Hurricane Dorian and the next steps to rebuildingthe benefits of therapythe power of communityproblem solving in tough timesbuilding resiliencewriting for therapy and purposeTo learn more about her, visit www.tarapyfrom.com or her Instagram page. The RESILIENT PEOPLE podcast is hosted by Janet Fanaki.
