## Resource

Narrative therapist and mediator Debbie Dunn shares her remarkable journey from being dishonourably discharged from the British Women’s Air Force for her same-sex relationship to becoming a pioneering voice in narrative mediation and workplace bullying support. Debbie delves into her personal story of resilience, the significance of narrative techniques in mediation and the transformative power of sharing one's story to move from shame to strength. Debbie's story is a testament to how sharing our narratives - including those shaped through struggle - can become an act of courage, connection + change.
