Belle and the Bear
Creating Space Project
Isabelle is the twelve-year-old daughter of Amanda, who talked about domestic violence in the episode Red Flags.
Resilient and insightful, Isabelle talks about her mother's abusive partner stealing her teddy bear when she was six years old.
βI was just an angry child because I lost my teddy bear.β
On the cusp of adolescence, Isabelle has already learnt a great deal about herself and emotion regulation. She is unapologetic for a justified anger and, at the same time, understands that lashing out in anger is not often effective.
"Emotions rub off on people. If youβre angry all the time, no one will want to talk to you. If youβre calm, people wll rely on you."
