Healing takes time. It doesn’t take a day, a week, or a month. It takes years and years to heal after being treated like shit.

Ladies/Gents, Getting out is THE HARDEST DECISION you'll ever make and it's the scariest thing I've ever done. I hope that everyone can get out safely, rebuild, refocus and heal.

A couple years ago I sent a letter each to my then boyfriend and the guy. I felt better.

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 being with my daughters. It’s sitting on the couch, watching a movie next to them. It’s hugging them twenty times a day just because I can. That is my healing, and right now it’s also my mission — a full-blown mission to get back to that place of love, safety, and normalcy with them.

Healing to me means cleansing my mind from the memories of traumatic events, and realising that whatever took place was beyond my control and wasn’t my fault. to turn your pain into power. Healing

For me healing is focusing on bettering myself for a better future and life. It takes time but it is very possible even small things like reading or doing self care is healing. Healing has no specific defenition and can be done by anyone.

Just know that there are people out there who are there for you even thru the darkest days and also the positive thing I was say is you are good enough and you got this and keep moving forward

Not keeping quiet about the abuse I endured helps me heal. It's comforting to me to remember the idiom, "If people want you to write better about them, they should have behaved better". The people abused me deserve to hear every scathing word from me about what they did to me.

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.
