A Trauma Story re-CREATE

  • To help rebuild one’s healthy sense of agency through sharing stories,  restructuring narratives, and re-CREATING. 

  • A supportive, strength-based creative  approach 

  • Through authentic storytelling and creativity, YOU redesign, retell, and re-CREATE your trauma story. 

Nina Waddington is a novelist, and artist, and a psychotherapist (RP-Q).  She is an educator and coach with over three decades of experience in leading and inspiring.  

​

Through a trauma informed, compassionate lens, participants first share and journal their stories. Next in this therapuetic space, they design a new empowered narrative. Finally, they recreate this narrative using passion and creativity. 

​

The trauma story is still there, but recreated overtop is a new narrative, envisioned, designed, and constructed by them.  

​

Sculpture, Painting, Textile Arts, Paper Mache, Dance, Song. You decide the medium to reCreate your new Narrative.

LivingRoom Wellness is situated upon the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and Mississaugas. This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, which was an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabek to share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. This land is covered by the Between the Lakes Purchase, 1792, between the Crown and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. The region is home to many Indigenous Peoples from across Turtle Island. I strive to do more and learn more about the rich history of this land so that I can better understand roles as a resident, neighbour, collaborater, and caretaker. Furthermore, this learning will deepen my understanding of my privileges as a settler on this territory.
