− | <big>The LLMC program challenged me to let go of what I had been taught in my department; It offer the space to release pain, fear, anger, as well as joy, laughter, and receive positive affirmations. Also, I was taught to acknowledge that my emotions are part of who I am as a human being. Wearing masks may be part of our survival, but our masks can cause us to be emotionally, spiritually, and physically unhealthy. We must afford ourselves some type of release; I had to learn this. It took me a long time and some unhealthy spaces but wearing masks for the sake of appearing to be strong for others can only last so long. My healing and learn to value my experiences to grow into the person I am supposed to become, started with the LLMC program.</big> | + | <big>The LLMC program challenged me to let go of what I had been taught in my department; It offer the space to release pain, fear, anger, as well as joy, laughter, and receive positive affirmations.
