Trained in Kenya, UK, and USA, I hold a post doctorate in Trauma Informed Care, a PhD in Psychology and Culture, an MSc in Organizational Leadership and Management, a Higher Diploma in Psychological Counselling, and a BEd in Psycho-pedagogy.
I have done therapy work in different countries including Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Sudan, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Mozambique, Italy, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, among others.
I have written several articles. My book, Breaking the Cycle: The Role of Auntie Rosie in Trauma Informed Care, is a result of both research and experiences of resilience in different countries.
My book, Breaking the Cycle, presents a different perspective in childhood trauma-informed care.
It addresses the role of Auntie Rosie and the importance of connection in the healing process. It proves that post-traumatic growth is indeed possible through loving relationships, and it emphasizes that being Auntie Rosie can enhance this growth.
This book presents different trauma healing perspectives and invites the reader to reflect on their own experiences and grow from them. Each of us has the capacity to heal, we need to tap the richness that lies within us, and, in creating, sustaining, and enhancing healthy relationships, we can indeed be very effective and efficient wounded healers.
Global migration caused by wars, natural disasters, and the search for a better life, is causing substantial demographic shifts around the globe. Italy, a leading entry port toward other countries in the EU, receives a large number of immigrants every month, especially in the spring, early summer, late summer, and early fall (Rapporto Onu, 2013.)
Immigration has become a pressing issue that challenges Italy’s status quo. As the number of legal and illegal immigrants grows, new needs arise. Among them, the integration process for these immigrants. Professional counsellors face the challenge of expanding their understanding and knowledge of effective techniques and approaches to work with diverse cultures.
More than ever, people are realizing that without self-care, our life loses meaning and direction, and we make very little impact on what we do. When we say that we cannot give what we do not have, we mean that it is only from a place of strength that we can give strength, a place […]

Each of us has been created in the image and likeness of God. What does this mean? To me, it means that we are powerful beyond measure, that our Self is greater than us, and that we are just “little less than gods”. This is a powerful reality, which invites us to make choices and […]

بواسطة تيريزا نجيجي كان لجائحة كورونا تأثير كبير على السلامة العاطفية للجميع، وخاصةً الأطفال. يتطلع الأطفال للبالغين الذين يوفرون انعكاساً لحالتهم العاطفية، فعندما يكون البالغون سليمين عاطفياً، فإنهم ينقلون الشعور بالأمان إلى الأطفال. وَوفقاً لدان سيجل، فإن الأطفال يحتاجون لأربع مقومات (4S) للازدهار. إذ يجب أن يشعروا: بأنهم مُلاحظون: لا تقتصر الرؤية على الأعين فحسب، […]

بواسطة تيريزا نجيجي كيف تغيّرت علاقاتنا؟ يكمن معنى الحياة في أن تجد موهبتك. أما الهدف من الحياة فهو أن تهبها للآخرين.
