Forgiving the Unforgivable | Rhiannon Baker | TEDxUTulsa

Using her own personal experience with trauma as a starting point, this talk discusses what forgiveness is and is not, as well as steps on how to learn to forgive the unforgivable. After escaping from the hands of her kidnapper at age 19, Rhiannon suffered from PTSD for a number of years. While she used to be silent about her trauma, she now shares her traumatic experience and its aftermath so that it may be a learning tool for others. She is a local attorney and non-profit volunteer who advocates for other victims and survivors. She has a passion for mental health awareness and victims’ rights advocacy. Rhiannon is in the process of finishing her book—part memoir, part personal development—and hopes to have it published by the end of 2023. You can find her on LinkedIn as Rhiannon K. Baker. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
