The mission of Breaking The Cycle Therapy—to provide a safe, supportive space for clients to explore emotions, build insight, and develop tools to break harmful cycles—is powerfully amplified by the spirit of Aisling (pronounced OSH-LIN), the Irish/Gaelic word for “dream” or “to dream.” For families affected by human trafficking, the initial process of healing begins with the courage to dream of a life free from past trauma and exploitation. Our commitment to creating insight and interrupting harmful cycles directly supports this dream, transforming the abstract concept of Aisling into tangible reality. By providing specialized knowledge and resources as a non-profit dedicated to this cause, we equip clients with the tools necessary not only to acknowledge their history but to actively break the cycle of pain, thereby making their profound dream of safety, wholeness, and growth a sustainable, waking reality.
