Soraya also explains:
Trauma’s roots and manifestations in human behavior - Emotional eating as a coping mechanism for unaddressed trauma. - How nervous system dysregulation is connected to broader societal issues, like systemic inequities - How our perceptions of identity and belonging are tied to our ancestors and cultural history, - The roles of community and ancestor support in personal healing - The vision behind the Portuguese expansion of Compassionate Inquiry® training, which is also offered in English, French, Spanish, Hungarian, Romanian and American Sign Language.

Quotes:
“Not every story has a happy ending,...but the discoveries of science, the teachings of the heart, and the revelations of the soul all assure us that no human being is ever beyond redemption. The possibility of renewal exists so long as life exists. How to support that possibility in others and in ourselves is the ultimate question" - Gabor Maté
“I see curiosity as a superpower. It’s taken me to incredible places, both out in the world and within myself: experiencing the beauty of this planet grew my ability to see beauty everywhere.” - Soraya Romao-Inglis
“As a BIPOC woman raised in Brazil, and a settler in Canada for over 20 years, and a trained psychotherapist, I bring to my practice and life a multicultural, compassionate lens, exploring with curiosity the influence of intersectionality in my clients' lives. I am an avid student, always educating myself and advocating for marginalized communities” - Soraya Romao-Inglis
