Expert Profile: Eugenia Springer, Ph.D.

Expertise:  I can answer your questions on how to stop being a victim, and/or how to stop being an abuser. My ability to help you, however, would depend on your willingness to assume full responsibility for helping yourself.

Experience in the area
From the 1970s to the present, my life has been a search after knowing my purpose, knowing myself, and knowing God. I talk about this search in my 2002 book, "Further Insights Into the Journey". After years of teaching biology at university, I became a radio Family Life Counselor, and a newspaper columnist, responding to callers on radio, and replying to letters from the public, in the newspapers. My book for the adolescent girl, "Girl, It's All About You"(Review & Herald Publishers 1980, and out of print) was my attempt to marry my field of training--biology, and my adoptive field--interpersonal relationships. "Further Insights Into the Journey" is about my search for personal freedom--a search for freedom from external controls; for freedom from fear. Through very instructive experiences, many sorely trying, I uncovered that freedom within me, and found myself progressively experiencing increasingly greater measures of peace. To get your copy of "Further Insights Into The Journey" email me at hftpproductions@tstt.net.tt. Currently I am the host and producer of two weekly call-in radio programs. You can access our station online at www.power102fm.com. My programs are: (1) "Life & Living/Soul to Soul", Wednesdays, 11:00 AM to 12:00 Noon; and (2) DIALOGUE, Wednesdays 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. DIALOGUE connects our national radio audience with our Trinidad & Tobago/Caribbean Diaspora, and other listeners beyond our shores. Access Dialogue by going to www.power102fm.com from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM local Trinidad and Tobago time on Wednesday nights. Communicate with callers and studio personnel through our message board; or call any of the four telephone numbers listed: Toronto, London, Miami, and New York. Call through the number nearest you. .

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I would love to continue learning and sharing; especially learning the many different ways in which people cope with life's issues, and the strategies they successfully use to push past obstacles and move on to increased growth.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Submission to abuse, and display of abusive behavior, can be found in all groups. Sometimes apparently strong, sensible adults cowering in the face of an angry authority figure, mistake the other's cowardice for overpowering strength.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  Though the topic 'abusive relationships' is often gender weighted, and often approached out of a consideration of physical, and emotional abuse, when considering the roots of the abusive relationship, there is often no clearcut distinction between who is abuser and who is abused.
What do you like about this subject?  It is not about liking something about the subject. I have assiduously attended to my own growth, my own spiritual development. I am at the place where I care, and share.
