“Surviving together was the only way we knew how to be close.” with Ludine Pierre

Missed Connections

Did you miss us? We have one final story to share with you this season. In this episode of Missed Connections, Lizzy presents a story to Beth that has an early childhood that felt like a dream, a surprise goodbye that changes everything, and a lifelong search for that feeling of home. It’s a missed connection.

Lizzy and Beth bring in Ludine Pierre to talk about the ways intergenerational relationships and trauma can impact connection as well as the journey we can go on to unpack and better understand it for ourselves.

Ludine Pierre, LPCC; LPC-MHSP is a licensed professional clinical counselor (CA #9688 and TN #4377); and clinical supervisor at Spaces Therapy. She enjoys helping individuals become more aligned with their values and deepen their sense of connection to self and others, specifically, when the past interrupts the present creating realities that might be difficult to deal with. Over the last decade, Ludine has worked in school settings and with families, in hospitals, substance use and disordered eating treatment centers, universities and private practice. She specializes in relational trauma as it relates to women’s issues and has extensive training in working with disordered eating, neurodiversity, and individuals working to understand their identities as adult children of immigrants navigating generational trauma. In addition to providing psychotherapy, Ludine believes in the power of community and creating spaces for collective healing. She is an advocate for utilizing other modalities to foster healing and provides surf therapy groups to a variety of communities in the LA area. Ludine’s hope for individuals is to be able to own their story with compassion and access the inner wisdom that already lies within.
