    Author

    Dr. Latrice Love

    All of us have experienced a time in our lives where we felt stuck, frustrated, or as though we weren’t reaching our full potential. These challenges can be even greater for individuals who have experienced adversity, violence, and trauma. Based on my own experience as both a professional counselor and a survivor, I’ve developed the L.O.V.E. Model as a powerful tool for change. The Journey from Survivor to Overcomer: The L.O.V.E. Model describes in detail how the person who embraces life, sets goals, and moves forward out of adversity can accomplish extraordinary achievements and realize his or her greatest ambitions. The Journey from Survivor to Overcomer: The L.O.V.E. Model uses a series of innovative visualization and writing exercises to guide readers through the necessary steps for growth. Described in a personable and funny first-person voice, the L.O.V.E. Model will provide new opportunities for anyone looking to broaden their horizons and set foot on the path to their dreams. About me: I’ve wanted to be “Dr. Love” since the age of eight. I worked tirelessly on a journey of learning, observing, visualizing, and evolving until I finally reached that goal. Throughout my journey, I have changed the lives of many through direct individual counseling, group workshops and seminars, and by remaining active in the community. A native of South Central Los Angeles, I served in the Armed Forces for fourteen years and spent eight years in financial services before realizing my dream of becoming a professional counselor. I published a doctoral dissertation in 2009. Now, I’m honored to support and encourage others in achieving their own goals using my L.O.V.E. Model. My tenacious desire to excel and succeed has allowed me to serve as an inspiration to others on their journey. Dr. Latrice Love, Owner of L.O.V.E. Matters currently resides in Columbia, SC with her husband and their 4 children.

      Acknowledgements

      I would first like to acknowledge my clients and friends with issues who have felt comfortable enough to share your most intimate thoughts, secrets, fears, and mistakes with me. Through our candid conversations, and your willingness to implement my suggestions and guidance, you alone made this book a reality.

      Special thanks to my children Tajari, Nakithon, Zaia, and Kya for always smiling and providing words of encouragement, even though you felt that mommy was too busy all of the time while writing, rewriting, deleting, and writing again. You all are my reason to continue learning, observing, visualizing, and evolving.

      Thank you Nakia for being more than a spouse could ever be. While you may limit the amount of words you choose to use in conversation, when you speak it is always refreshing and worth listening to. Your support with our children and my never-ending projects is bar none.

      Thanks to my very special friend and brother Antoine for being you. You have always been supportive, open to new ideas, and my reality check when my brutal honesty or need to race through time became too much. Your ideas, questions, and subtle yet effective pushes gave this project life.

      Judy thanks from the bottom of my heart for always believing in me since day one. Your support during the years has been immense and I will always remain indebted to you.

      To my long twin that came into my life at a time least expected, and faded out of my life at a time even less expected. While I may never understand the chemistry that we shared, I will always remember the words of wisdom and the strength truly needed to never settle for less. You alone have challenged me in ways that I never knew possible. You allowed me to explore myself from a viewpoint that one can only hope to dream of. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, in which you will always hold a special place.

      Love Redefined

      Are you the type of individual who is always wondering how much more you can take? How many times someone will remind you how much you have been through? How strong you are? How you survived so much? Have you just wanted to overcome your past and live in and for the present? While this concept may be difficult to swallow, this book is written to offer some assistance at finding inner peace and a refreshed newer version of YOU. Dr. Love takes an easy-to-follow, simplistic approach to redefining L.O.V.E. as we know it… and how L.O.V.E. can be a guide for what you do, with whom you do it, and more importantly, who you are.

      For quite a while, I found myself motivating others by my sharing my past—helping them to make sense of their misfortunes by sharing my motivation and dedication to make it through and accomplish my goals. Perhaps you are not quite ready to disclose such sensitive information regardless of the potential strength you can give to another. Simultaneously, you continue to live in a dark comfort zone as opposed to seeing the potential benefit of overcoming your past or dismal present.

      This book appeared too clear after my eighty-third counseling session with a close friend. While I may have initially missed my calling and gave up the opportunity to charge for such sessions, people tend to turn to me with their most intimate issues, stories, concerns, desires, etc. Over time, I have embraced this role and actually begun a trend of assisting others to make sense of their mini- or mega-dramas to begin the journey from survivor to overcomer.

      As a part of this process, I have managed to turn negative situations into positive situations primarily by using my life as a reference. In fact, I am at a point where I have helped so many people with their journey, this self-help guide has become the basic beginning for everyone I encounter.

      The first question people ask once they learn a little about my life is: How did you accomplish so much? Or, what do you think makes you different or able to make things happen in the way that you have? My replies were, I just make it happen… thoughts are things… pressing toward the mark/perseverance… never giving up… setting goals and sticking to them… etc.

      Over the years, now that I can reflect on my past, I can clearly see that my life has been filled with several opportunities to learn, observe, visualize, and evolve, hence the creation of the L.O.V.E model.
