I Am the One Who

Discover a performance that shares the lived experience of the journey from trauma and dissociation to empowerment, and explore the healing power of bottom-up interventions and the expressive arts.

The complexity of psychological trauma

Trauma is pervasive. Trauma is debilitating.

Healing is possible.

The Need for Empathetic Tools

Every person reacts to trauma differently, and every support person wants to help. I Am the One Who provides a first-hand account of how bottom-up interventions and the expressive arts can be powerful tools for stabilizing and regulating.

Bridging the Gap to the Lived Experience

Experience trauma recovery up close and personal. Come share the journey because momentum is our friend!

Why it matters

Frustration & Fatigue

The helpless feeling of being unable to “do enough” can lead to compassion fatigue and empathic strain. I Am the One Who inspires hope, healing, and dialogue.

Access to the Lived Experience is Essential

You deserve to understand psychological trauma and dissociation not just as a concept but as a lived experience. Our methods share the journey from trauma to empowerment.
