About the name
The featured picture that is the foundation of Deb & Me and was drawn by a 9 year old girl that Deb supported for 18 months. This girl was witness to trauma and engaged in trauma recovery therapy with Deb. Supporting this little person, was a real stand out for Deb. So much was learnt – the picture is titled ‘Deb and Me’ and was painted by the child who benefited from a safe therapeutic space created with Deb. The picture painted is valued by Deb and is framed and displayed as a constant reminder of learnings shared by this little person. Over time, this child taught Deb valuable insights including:
- The importance of the relationship
- Attachment theory
- The significance of dyadic work
- Impacts trauma has on development
- Unresolved closures
Supporting Workplace Wellness with Deb and Me

- Litte and young people living in out of home care

This experience has helped Deb understand the importance of fostering relationships with self and others to promote wellness. Nurturing a relationship with self, positions therapists to do their best work for a long time.
