Expertise

My name is Susan Blocker. I was born in 1962 with a physical disabillity and I am SURVIVOR of Physical, Sexual, Verbal, Emotional and Economical abuse. During the past 11 years via my website "Climbing Out Of The Spiral" I have provided a myriad of online support and counseling services to survivors and victims of abuse worldwide. My knowledge stems from my own personal experiences with childhood abuse and domestic violence. Through my own experience with abuse I've learned many valuable lessons that I am able to pass on to those in need of guidance and support, so that they may begin their "Climb Out Of The Spiral".

Experience in the area

My greatest accomplishment is surviving thirty years of abuse and having the strength to uphold my emotional fortitude so that I can pass my experience on to other survivors of abuse. I am creative founder of a website dedicated to promoting abuse awareness and prevention. Climbing Out Of The Spiral has provided abuse support and counseling services to victims and survivors of abuse world wide since December 7, 1996. Climbing Out Of The Spiral is my most precious achievement.

Education/Credentials

My educatonal credentials stems from "Life Experience".

What do you like about this subject?

After surviving thirty years of physical, sexual, verbal, emotional and economical abuse, I am grateful to be alive. It's an honor to share my experiencw and knowledge with fellow victims/ survivors of abuse.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

Helping survivors of abuse has helped me through my healing process. My hope is to continue passing on the knowledge in hopes of one day ending abuse.

If We Work Together Maybe One Day Abuse We Can End Abuse.
