My name is Jennifer McLean, and I have moved through and continue to heal from childhood sexual abuse.
When the #MeToo movement began, it stirred up a strange feeling within...
I not only reflected on the abuse I endured as a child, but I also remembered, now even more vividly, the dozens or more incidents of sexual abuse and harassment that seemed less traumatic than the original abuses I faced.
The two different men opening their trench coats to reveal themselves to the teenage me, the multiple "cop a feel" moments in lines and at the subway, the friend's father "massaging" me inappropriately at a wedding, and many more of those heinous moments.
I have come to understand that I had been dismissing these seemingly smaller incidents due to the larger dominant abuses in my childhood.
And then recently witnessing the thousands and thousands of stories of what it has been like to be a woman in our society.
I realized that my 30 years as a healer, along with my system of healing, The Spontaneous Transformation Technique (STT), which is specifically designed for trauma, and the hundreds of thousands I have supported in healing through the years (plus the 800+ STT Practitioners in training)...
This confluence of personal experiences, traumas, solutions, and expertise have drawn me to this very moment of time.
