We’re so excited to welcome our guest for today, Papillon DeBoer. Poppy is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Structural Therapist in Asheville, NC. His focus is on trauma, outsiders, loners & the marginalized, adolescents, and existential or spiritual counseling.
Poppy has been working with people to create change since 1997, when he worked as a community organizer in a rough Chicago neighborhood. Then, he went on to study and practice deep tissue massage as a way of making change more personal. He worked with clients for many years, to move and feel differently, and to release trauma.
Poppy has also flipped pizzas, painted houses, lived out of a backpack, and managed a treehouse hostel. Over the last five years, he has worked as a case manager at a local crisis shelter for runaway and homeless youth in addition to facilitating workshops, healing rituals, and even completing his book “Secret Teachings of the Butterfly”.
In this episode we talk about: the phases of changing, what trauma is and does, the acceptance + commitment approach, and the staggering statistic of male survivors of sexual assault.
