The Silent Child in Me

Beschreibung

Spit was sprayed on her face as he shouted at her shoving her against the wall, his hand around her throat forcing her on her tiptoes. "Kill me then" she said, in a quiet voice. It was the last act of defiance, daring him to do it, so that this would all be over. There could be no more violence, or trepidation. Perhaps peace would finally find its way into her life. She was 15. Surely life wasn't meant to be like this was it? Poignant, shocking, heartfelt, and yet, at times, funny, this story describes Michelle's journey from a (as she would describe it) 'less than ideal start' (abuse as we know it), to a successful career in the military and, later on, as a consultant and business owner. Unknowingly, those experiences in her formative years were to create the perfect storm for what was to come. For each one of us who have experienced some kind of trauma, we are probably oblivious as to what patterns can be created from our early childhood experiences. This book details not only how the effects of those can be incredibly devastating, leaving an indelible mark on the map of life, impacting how we see and interact with the world and those living in it, but also how even the things we think are helping us can, sometimes, end up being our Achilles heel. Certain coping strategies helped (sometimes), her determination helped (sometimes) and her sense of humour kept her going (always). This book is more than just an explanation of her life; it focuses on the possibility for all of us, to overcome our demons once we know what is driving them.

Autor

Michelle Ensuque is a behavioural coach whose project management and consultant career has spanned 30 years across public and private sectors. Michelle suffered a breakdown around 10 years ago which was a shock as she always believed her zest for life, energy and sense of humour would get her through most things but, balancing the needs of family as a single parent coupled with a demanding job and other life events, such as bereavement, eventually took its toll.Michelle spent 12 months working on her recovery, a big part of which was Neuro Linguistic Programming which completely transformed her life, both personally and professionally. She wasn't aware of how she was operating, her patterns of behaviour that led to her driving herself relentlessly and why, ultimately, at an emotional level she ended up at rock bottom.Michelle now works with people in the corporate world, who are trying to balance the professional with the personal and helps them too (and often their families), to make transformational changes. Her mission is to help people potentially avoid the mental health issues that ravage our society. Many examples are given in this book to help people understand what might be triggering certain behaviours through the story and some thought provoking questions to aid the reader into questioning their current mode of operating.Her website is www.meliusse.com and she can often be found scribing hilarious posts on LinkedIn.
