Therapists, Marcel A.
Duclos M.Ed, M.Th. & Connie Robillard, MA have
created a a documentary in partnership with
film maker, Amber Ward, based on their book, Common
Threads: Stories of Life After Trauma..
This film speaks about
and for children who have experienced abuse, neglect
and trauma. They honor the wounded inner parts of
personality that seek safety.
Using life themes,
natural beauty and artistic images the story of two
children, a boy and a girl is brought into the
light. This film contrasts the innocence of
childhood with dark themes of abuse.
The therapists’ voices
speak of the traumatic patterns that invade the
thinking, self concept and choices made by those
whose lives have been impacted by sexual and
emotional trauma.
Connie and Marcel speak
from both a professional and personal perspective.
