Episode Description
I just started therapy a couple of weeks ago. And, I’ve been encouraged to journal as I go. Well, if I’m going on a growth journey, I want everyone to benefit from what I’m learning. First of all, childhood abuse and the resulting trauma are VERY powerful. And, it’s rarely a good thing. I held in my secrets for nearly 40 years. And, my body felt those effects with migraines, insomnia, tense shoulders, an often clenched jaw and more. Emotions have to come out, or they will eat you alive. So, I finally decided to tackle the demons that have held me back and begin the scary (but hopeful) journey of therapy. And, as part of that, I want to extend my therapy experience to you. My stories are all true, and I’m sure yours are, too. Come be a fly on the wall as I begin discovering herself, healing, and going from surviving to thriving. Listen in to relate, to know you’re not alone, and to hear lessons and ah-ha moments that may help you in your own journey. So, join me. Listen, relate, and heal, too. Call dibs and claim back your life!!
