Shamai Currim: I am Shamai Currim PhD., a healed survivor and therapist. When I began my healing journey, Survivorship was there for me. I borrowed the newsletters from my therapist's office and learnt that I wasn't alone. As I healed, I wrote poems that spoke to my process, and Survivorship gave me the voice I had never had. Today it's "give back" time. I'm pleased to be part of a team that cares, volunteers that are willing to give of themselves to make this a better world. Survivorship continues to be there for you, just as it was for me, because people care. To find out more about what who I am, and to read some of my poems, visit www.hourglass.net/tritherapy
