Donna Bruschi

This week’s guest is Donna Bruschi, one of my newest Twitter friends. Donna is offering a special gift especially for parents. First read what she says about discovering her own giftedness, and then scroll down to the bottom of this post to find out what she is offering to give you.

By way of introduction, here’s something fun about myself:  I had severe Post-partum Depression for a year and my son lived to tell the tale.  Seriously, I am the person who says “Why not? Let’s do it!” If you have something bold, fun or terrifying you want to do and you don’t want to do it alone–just ask me. I’m easy that way!

I have a gift for empathy, compassion and taking people on journeys deep within themselves where we visit their anguished, hurt selves. We go there together, learn or heal something and come back relieved and happy. I discovered that I had this gift when people started telling me how much I had helped them. I was just being me and they would experience this deep shift in their life. I watched my friends and family transform through my relationship with them. And each time I help someone I learn something important which helps me to grow. I became a Resonance Repatterning practitioner, a La Leche League Leader and a Communication Skills Instructor to have some tools to help others.

I share my gift because it helps me be a better person. I feel good. Second, I see people experience transformation through our connection. They feel more confident. They let go of grief. They become hopeful and want to help others. I want to share this connection on a wider basis. Third, I feel this external push beyond myself that is urgent, insistent and constantly pushing me to share. I think of how priests and nuns talk about “being called” It’s like that.

My biggest stumbling block was my fear of being labeled weird or crazy. I was shy about connecting. I thought I was being too intimate with others. I would grant them so much privacy that our friendship would be superficial and I would feel lonely. Another obstacle was that I didn’t take responsibility for myself. I was critical and blamed others for my unhappiness or my misfortune. Now, each roadblock is a teaching moment. I find the place in myself that needs to grow. I use my friends and my gifts to heal the places that need to heal and parent the places that need to grow. As I learn, I pass on what I have learned. With 3 Teens, I have hourly teaching moments….hence the Parenting Teens class.

Here’s a story about my transformation. A few years ago, my first boyfriend and I reconnected. We had an intense extra-marital affair that was totally outrageous in both premise and how we carried it out. We have a deep psychic connection–we can feel and hear each other even though we live 2000 miles apart. Our connection is way more sensitive than that I have with my kids. I am connected with my kids, but I can read Scott’s mind. We were both “happily married” at the time. We started by emailing each other. Within a few weeks, we were talking on the phone more than an hour a day. Over the next 6 years we met dozens of time flying or driving across the country for brief intense visits. We wrote thousands of pages of poems, love letters and journals about our connection. I ended up divorcing my husband and am now in another deep healing soul relationship. He separated from his wife for a year and ended up returning to connect closely with his kids and try to have a deep relationship with his wife. Before the relationship, we were both living without hope. We both felt we were victims of our spouses. Now we try to be compassionate and help them grow. We are confident using sensitivity, intimacy and connecting deeply with others outside of our relationship. We help others feel safe. When someone feels safe, they start to dismantle the big fence they have protecting their soul.

We still talk regularly and deeply. It is the easiest thing in the world to talk for hours. We are still intimate if not lovers. We are now empowered and open about our experience and our connection.

For others who are learning about their own gifts, it is important to connect with others. Help comes from others who cross your path. Make some new friends and spend some time with them. I have had really intense friendships with people that lasted briefly and then ended. We needed each other for a specialized piece of growth. Other friendships are more general. Volunteer work is a great vehicle for connection.

It can be helpful to keep a journal or send letters or document your growth in some way. This is nice because you change so much–you won’t believe it. Use the past tense as in ” I used to be afraid or I used to be critical” instead of putting yourself down. Listen to the voices in your head, (remembering that jumping off the Mid-Hudson bridge isn’t a good idea and putting your baby in the oven is a really bad idea. Don’t go there!). Your unconscious mind knows where you want to go and it knows how to get there and is constantly advising you. Messages come through in dreaming both awake and asleep.  Realize that those who criticize you are only afraid of something in themselves, not you, and be compassionate and gentle with them. Be kind with others and with yourself.

The biggest lesson I have learned is to ask for help. I encourage everyone to do this and I try to be as accessible as possible and model this both in the giving and in the asking.

Here’s Donna’s gift…

A parent who was receiving her first Resonance Repatterning session looked at me and said, “I’ve had two years of therapy with my son. Only today, do I understand and feel ready to forgive him.”
