“We need to give ourselves permission to be exactly where we are,” shares April Hernandez-Castillo, award-winning actress, keynote speaker and workshop leader on how to deal with the epidemic of intimate partner violence. “Give voice to what you feel, don’t hold it in,” she says. By voicing it, you advocate for yourself and for your abuser. Speaking it helps to release the traumatic patterns that hold both abuser and victim hostage. April starred as Eva in the award-winning Freedom Writers movie. Now as keynote speaker and workshop leaders, she helps us find our own freedom by encouraging us to be deeply honest about how we really are today. We give ourselves permission to be with all of us. That is the first step in healing.  The next steps are every day practices, that include speaking our pain and our healing with deep compassion for ourselves and others, knowing that we are loved, no matter what.
