Creating Trauma Informed Prisons and Communities Throughout the World. Compassion Prison Project began as the brainchild of award-winning producer Fritzi Horstman, whose own childhood trauma helped shape its conception.

Together, they created powerful tools to address and heal from childhood trauma.

In today's episode I'm talking about projection and gaslighting - over the last few weeks these are 2 major themes that have come up during the interviews. Projection occurs when a person attributes a quality to another person that really comes from themselves. People project all the time and it's neither good nor bad, depending on which qualities are projected and whether or not they are denied in the self. Projection can be the basis of wonderful qualities such as empathy, generosity and romantic feelings—or negative qualities such as rage, greed, and contempt.

You will be entertained and have an, often humorous no holds barred insight into life, from growing up in an orphanage between the ages of two and eighteen spending those years in the decaying often brutal social care system in London, to travelling the world, failing frequently but learning quickly how to be successful including friendships with some of the most renown celebrities on the planet and what we all have in common.  Robert Ian Bonnick has danced for M-People, Womack and Womack, recruited for Madonna and modelled alongside Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Eva Herzigová. He has also travelled the globe living in destinations such as London, Sydney, and Milan. As the main promoter for Australia's most iconic venues and parties, it would be easy to dismiss Rob as one of the ‘lucky few' who has rubbed shoulders with the rich and famous. In reality, luck has had nothing to do with Rob's success.  Rob did not get a running start in the game of life. In addition to the initial challenges of not having a family, Rob was faced a choice. Would he choose to reflect and follow the path of fellow orphans who ended up in jail or dead? Or, instead choose to step into his greatest potential as a human being?

A boxer, trainer, epigenetics coach, podcast host and lover of banter. Tiffanee uncovered vulnerabilities and trauma when she started boxing at 29 “Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face”. Tiffanee Cook has learned this as a business woman, performance coach and boxer; from the comfort, predictability and safety provided by the corporate world, to the lessons and let-downs in and out of the boxing ring. Coming to the realisation that, in order to have one's hand raised in triumph, adversity, discomfort and combat must be navigated. In the face of the messiness of life, do we fight or do we flee?  Tiffanee speaks openly of her own personal experiences (good and bad) and how those experiences have enabled her to develop self-awareness, resilience, courage, independence and the skill to be able to maximise passion, possibilities and potential.

Reiki is a form of alternative therapy commonly referred to as energy healing. It emerged in Japan in the late 1800’s and is said to involve the transfer of universal energy from the practitioner’s palms to their client. It is commonly referred to as palm healing or hands-on healing. The word “Reiki” means “mysterious atmosphere, miraculous sign.” It comes from the Japanese words “rei” (universal) and “ki” (life energy). As a practitioner and in some modern medicine it is known that, energy can stagnate in the body this can be where there has been physical injury or possibly emotional pain or trauma and in time, these energy blocks can cause illness.

What is Seichim? Seichim is a living light energy meaning it is a different and higher vibration than Reiki, which is most beneficial for working with emotional and mental levels or concerns, as well as that higher spiritual connection. Meaning ‘power of powers’ or ‘might’, Seichim is similar to Reiki healing by working on our higher bodies to balance a person mentally and emotionally but also used for physical ailments. Seichim healing has its origins in Egypt and was the place it was recently ‘rediscovered’. Like Reiki it is also ‘received’ by practitioners like a radio signal and transmitted through the practitioner’s crown, out their hands and into a person’s body. The hands may also be placed over the chakra areas within the energy field.
