148|We are not a Tragedy, we are Triumphant

For so long I did not want to share about the abuse that happened to me because I did not want to feel that people would pity me.It felt like because I was a survivor of abuse that my life was tragic.Once I started addressing what happened to me and working on the issues that I had, it started to become easier to share because I felt better about how I was dealing with it.The more that I worked at it, the more that I began to feel triumphant about what I overcame.If you are a survivor and are working on overcoming the issues that you have because of the trauma that you experienced than you are being triumphant over all the things that happened to you that were trying to wreck your life.That is something you can be proud of.Just a note- we recorded this episode right after our friend Dan had his heart attack and before he passed away so we waited to post this because we wanted to have the tribute to him first so that is why we talk about his heart attack in this episode.No Longer Ashamed⁠⁠No Longer Ashamed FB⁠[email protected]
