Creating Connected Heart and Our Mission

Creation story and mission
with Wendy and Robin

I’m Robin and this is Wendy. We are psychotherapists
and we have spent the past 15 years studying, working
with, and watching human behavior.

We have worked with some of the most traumatized people,
people who have been through horrific, unimaginable
experiences
(Yucky scenes)

And on the other hand, we have worked with people who have
lived what looks like a relatively easy life.

These people have come from all walks of life, from
CEO’s, entrepreneurs, stay at home moms,
teenagers, children, incarcerated and
underprivileged populations and just about
everything in between.

We have been fortunate enough to listen to
people’s stories and have been allowed into
their deepest and most private places. To be
invited into someone’s internal world is truly
an honor and has been transformative for both
of us, personally and professionally.
(scenes)

Through this work we began to see something
we felt really passionate about and realized
needed to be shared with the world.(cool world, connection scene)

Here is what we saw
1. We began to see the
ways in which most of us
are not connecting to our
full potential

2. We started seeing the patterns
that block us from being able to
reach that potential

3. the amazing ability of
human beings to
naturally heal when we
remove the blocks.

We began to get really excited as we were
discovering a path to healing that allowed
people to create freedom from the
obstacles that were holding them back from
their full potential.

(scenes, trauma
scenes)
A key aspect of how we arrived at this
knowledge has been through our work and
training as trauma therapists. What that
means is we specialize in understanding the
experience of human suffering. Most of us
understand the concept of trauma on some
level. It’s bad, it hurts us and it affects our
lives in many negative ways.

(scenes)
We can all agree that someone
who has experienced trauma in
their life can benefit from some
type of help. But what a lot of us
don’t know is how aside from
traumatic events, we are products
of EVERY single thing that has
ever happened to us in our lives.

(scenes)
Through our work we began to
understand how life experiences (all of
them) can create barriers that keep us
from our full potential. Science is
proving that upsetting moments that
most of us were taught to blow off as
unimportant are actually quite
impactful. There is even a term for
them called Adverse Childhood
Experiences and daily chronic stressors.

(scenes)
It turns out that it is not just trauma
that is affecting us, but it is actually
those seemingly unimpactful moments,
where we have felt hurt by others, in
our lives that are equally as important in
forming who we are and how behave in
the world. People often dismiss
experiences that can be the most
formative as not significant to their
current challenges.

We noticed that time after time our clients would report, I had a good childhood, and
ask, why is my past relevant? We realized they were missing some critical information
that could enable them to achieve growth that felt beyond their reach.
(scene)

When people are missing this critical information about how the past affects the present,
they look for the cause and the solution of their problems in misguided places, often
blaming personality or genes. They blame themselves, their relationships, and their
environment for their troubles.
(scene)

It became our mission to help
explain why these life moments are
important, how they affect us, and
how we can heal from them.
(scene)

We wanted to reach more than the people
who were showing up in our office. When
someone shows up in a therapy office, things
are typically not going so well, so they are
motivated to seek growth. But what about
those of us who are doing okay, life is moving
along, but there is something left to be
desired. We recognized that this information
wasn’t reaching those people and knew how
vital it was for their growth and healing.

We were inspired to get this information
to as many people as we could in the
world, because we understand that when
you grow as an individual you don’t just
affect yourself, you also affect the growth
of the people around you.

As we heal ourselves, we heal
each other, and as we heal each
other we create a ripple effect
across relationships, families,
communities, nations, and the
planet as a whole .

“We feel passionately that changing the
world really does start here, with each and
every one of you.

“
So we created Connected Heart.

Join us on the journey and help us create
a world of Connected Hearts
