Unknowingly
Shame/Guilt has distorted our quality of life.
We often collapse into the hypnotic maze of low self-esteem that leads to emotional and physical disorders. I call myself a Shame/Guilt Educator although others call me a coach, counselor, therapist, and guide. I have redefined shame guilt which challenges current dogma and treatments. My work offers a way to diminish shame guilt behaviors in our lives and continues to increases in effectiveness over time. We can reclaim our innate self-esteem to express authenticity without intimidation.
In 1943, I was born in Baltimore, Maryland. I earned my RN registered nurse degree from St. Joseph Hospital and achieved my BSN Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Pennsylvania. For thirty years I gained significant experience as a nurse in various departments of medicine such as open heart surgery, neurosurgery, and gastroenterology. However, I spent most of my nursing career in the area of Nephrology, the treatment of kidney disorders. I used my talents in research, teaching and consulting to help establish one of the first kidney hemodialysis units in the United States; containing a hepatitis epidemic standardizing; and developing protocols for hepatitis management before the development of the hepatitis vaccine.
