 Guest Speaker Gabi Plum.
Registered Under Another Name Gabi is a qualified Learning Facilitator with the respected, Access Energy Transformation. Having discovered at the age of 34 that she had been adopted, Gabi created a whirlwind of activity and obsession to find her birth mother. Errors with mistaken identity made the search poignant, agonizing and hilarious. Undeterred she found her eventually and learnt the greatest lessons about expectation and disappointment. Her work since then (20 years) has been about assisting people to see the dramas and traumas of relationships from a different perspective - handling issues of work and career, family dynamics, sexual dysfunction and self esteem and of course those within the Adoption Triangle. |
