Worthiness, Trauma and Healing https://www.voiceamerica.com/episode/139676/worthiness-trauma-and-healing Episode Description: One of the biggest lessons T.W. Suggs has learned has been that there is a correlation between forgiveness, healing, and worthiness. When we fail to forgive, we’re tethered to painful stories and memories which prevent us from growing and learning how amazing we really are. The absolute biggest lesson T.W. learned in his journey is that surrogates are not allowed. That is, you can’t have someone birth something for you (healing, a sense of worthiness, etc.). You are meant to give life to yourself. Join us as we explore the connection between trauma and worthiness and how we can heal from our traumatic experiences while “While Running Through The Rain”. T.W. Suggs’ latest book, 'Running Through The Rain' examines serious issues of forgiveness, identity, rejection, and the unseen trauma black men and boys encounter but seldom express. This Flip Side Conversation will examine real issues that also remind us of the importance of opening our hearts to the little moments that make us smile, that exist around us all. Featured Guest: T.W. Suggs T.W. Suggs is a storytelling artist, public speaker, and author with an underlying mission to help others heal from the past, align with the present, and live full lives. As the author of ‘Running Through the Rain,' T.W. has an extensive background in creating captivating bodies of work that go beyond the surface and touch the core. He takes pride in being able to leverage his own experiences to help others develop and heal. Born in Atlanta and raised in Philadelphia, T.W. has built a strong inventory of personal and professional progressions that led to his current endorsed standing as a speaker and debuted author. To date, T.W. holds an Associate’s Degree in Human Services, a B.S. in Business Administration, and an M.S. in Organizational Development and Leadership with a goal of pursuing a Doctorate. But even with this as his base, T.W.’s innate love for storytelling and art stemmed from the heavy influences of his grandmother, who was an advocate for performing arts. Witnessing her taking acting classes at the Freedom Theater of Philadelphia and later starting a small performing arts ministry at her church planted the seed in T.W. to pursue an artistic path of his own. Most recently, T.W. released his first book entitled 'Running Through the Rain: My Stories, Reflections, and Kind Reminders’. In his book, T.W. provides a unique perspective on life, wholeness, and the healing journey as he recounts his own experiences as a young boy growing up in Philadelphia, PA.
