Cristina DiMatteo

CPSS, Art Therapy Facilitator, Creative, Trauma Survivor, Narcissistic Abuse Survivor, Bipolar, STE, Spiritual Emergence. After a sharp hit to the skull, I had my first psychosis at the age of 33. Rather than getting imaging done, the ER assumed it was psychological and sent a psychiatrist to diagnose me with bipolar disorder. No physical check was done, no evaluation of my past family trauma. I believe I had a Spiritually Transformative Experience or Spiritual Emergence. I've had a few since then and have realized that I want to be a part of fixing a broken health care system. I've survived emotionally immature parents (a complacent mother and narcissistically abusive father), abusive siblings, and I'm still working on myself to this day. Writing has helped me with perspective, I hope to publish my memoir soon. I am also an artist who is certified as an art therapy facilitator to compliment my CPSS (certified peer support specialist) that I received in the state of Arizona.

What I Hope to Share

I hope my lived experience can be a life guide for others. I also hope that other's experiences feel validated and understood. I hope to gain a better understanding of my trust issues, especially learning to trust my own intuition a bit more.

What Brought Me to ShareWell

I was invited to ShareWell by the community. I'm excited to be here. I look forward to giving support while having work/life balance. I'm here to support others who have had Spiritually Transformative Experiences.

"Great group! I liked the therapeutic art assignment! The group was made to feel comfortable to share. I would have enjoyed 15 more min for closing. Great Job leading!"
