Heilung bedeutet für mich, aktiv zu werden, laut zu sein und sich aktiv für alle Opfer einzusetzen

You are stronger than you think you are. You are more resilient and tenacious than you could ever imagine. You are your own hero and will be the queen of your own destiny. Never give up... and remember self love and self care are the foundation of self preservation.

Three beautiful kids later, three houses later, and 10 years later, I finally had the courage to leave.

Law & Order SVU has helped me with my healing process. I also dream of a Partnership with Joyful Heart Foundation and Mariska Hargitay on my project, Crafting For A Cause. It's about using art to spread joy, support, and awareness.

Hope is the silver of light left when you are surrounded by darkness. It is love in its greatest form 💕

I hope that sharing my story will help others to realize we all have broken places, but we are not broken. Since that day in 2007, I became the CEO of my own company, ideated patents and healed.

Healing is having self-love, self-compassion, and knowing your worth.

To me Healing means working through the darkest parts of yourself and coming out stronger on the other side.

Give yourself grace and be patient with the process. There isn't a deadline on healing. To be honest, you may never get over the pain and trauma, but each day you choose to fight and live is another day you get to celebrate.

He isn't sorry, even if he says it a thousand and one times. He will do it again, and it is not your fault. You do not do anything to deserve that treatment, and that is not love.

It is okay to take time out to cry, in the shower. It is okay to pray, when no one is looking. It is okay to smile, when someone gives you a compliment. It is okay to look in the mirror and say, I'm beautiful. It is okay to leave when you have said, enough is enough.

Grounding activity
Find a comfortable place to sit. Gently close your eyes and take a couple of deep breaths - in through your nose (count to 3), out through your mouth (count of 3). Now open your eyes and look around you. Name the following out loud:
5 – things you can see (you can look within the room and out of the window)
4 – things you can feel (what is in front of you that you can touch?)
3 – things you can hear
2 – things you can smell
1 – thing you like about yourself.
Take a deep breath to end.
From where you are sitting, look around for things that have a texture or are nice or interesting to look at.
Hold an object in your hand and bring your full focus to it. Look at where shadows fall on parts of it or maybe where there are shapes that form within the object. Feel how heavy or light it is in your hand and what the surface texture feels like under your fingers (This can also be done with a pet if you have one).
Take a deep breath to end.
Ask yourself the following questions and answer them out loud:
1. Where am I?
2. What day of the week is today?
3. What is today’s date?
4. What is the current month?
5. What is the current year?
6. How old am I?
7. What season is it?
Take a deep breath to end.
Put your right hand palm down on your left shoulder. Put your left hand palm down on your right shoulder. Choose a sentence that will strengthen you. For example: “I am powerful.” Say the sentence out loud first and pat your right hand on your left shoulder, then your left hand on your right shoulder.
Alternate the patting. Do ten pats altogether, five on each side, each time repeating your sentences aloud.
Take a deep breath to end.
Cross your arms in front of you and draw them towards your chest. With your right hand, hold your left upper arm. With your left hand, hold your right upper arm. Squeeze gently, and pull your arms inwards. Hold the squeeze for a little while, finding the right amount of squeeze for you in this moment. Hold the tension and release. Then squeeze for a little while again and release. Stay like that for a moment.
Take a deep breath to end.
