SLP 434: The Other Side of Trauma Helping Others Heal with Anna Ditchburn

“When I started, my work as a hypnotherapist helping people and seeing how people come through the other side, I received so much fulfilment for humans. And this is the feeling I was always looking for, the fulfilment. It doesn’t look, and it doesn’t feel like a job to me. It feels like it is my passion, it’s my purpose. I realise that maybe I had to go through this journey, through this trauma, to be able to help others. That’s one of these parts.” ~ Anna Ditchburn Anna Ditchburn is the kind of brave that this world needs right now. A child abandoned by her biological father at 4, a new father-figure arriving in her family’s life at ten years of age. A knight in shining armour that provided for his family and seemed to be exactly the kind of person this broken family needed. But before long this man revealed his true colours. A military man who became verbally abusive, ruled with an iron fist and ultimately committing the worst sin of all, systematic sexual abuse of Anna from age 15 until 21. This abuse resulted in two pregnancies that then became forced illegal abortions. Even after Anna was able to flee the grip of tyranny, an enduring legacy of twenty consecutive miscarriages followed, a direct result of the botched abortions. Anna is now the epitome of a success story. Reclaiming her power, forgiving the complicit parties, but never absolving them of their responsibilities. Anna is a Certified Hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner / Feminine Expert, empowering humans with her ultimate courage in lifting the lid of shame, pain, judgement and guilt. You will be deeply moved by Anna’s relentless desire to empower a generation of people to confront this subject head-on and educate on how to heal, thrive and prevent this type of abuse from happening ever again. Fearless in her approach, Anna inspires those who hear her message of hope. Amd Anna travels all over the World, with the man of her dreams.

Connecting this to my image of a child as part of my divine being. I understand that. My love is not coming from what happened to me in the past or what am I doing right now or based on my achievements. It’s just loving my little Anna inside me for everything, and for all she is doing. No right or wrong just loving her. It’s just being present.’ Her favourite quote is: Don’t be afraid to ask for help. ~ Brené Brown Quotes: I started looking up for myself. I turned my attention from the outside world in to the inside world. It took me so deep into my past and it helped me to face my deepest darkest and actually learn the lessons from my past. Even if the whole world is against you, I will always be there. That many people are still suffering in silence. Become the loudest voice for those children and women who are still afraid to open up. You can turn your trauma into your superpower. I strongly believe that we are creators of our life. We might not know what exactly we need and that’s fine as long as you put some things that are very important for you. You don’t have to know how, you just need to know what and why. It is possible to heal. Sometimes our parents are not the ones who can help us to go through this. Once you share your story, it diminishes the power of your trauma. It is about having the courage to heal. We have only to heal ourselves and ask for help. Emotions are inside the body and the subconscious. Something that I couldn’t see before allowed me to forgive. It feels like it is my passion, it’s my purpose. The human healing journey lives on. Building an empire means I want to do something together. Not being able to pay for things, it was very scary, but it built our resilience and trust. Just trust the process, trust in the Universe. Allowing yourself to do whatever your heart desires. Put yourself first – not in a selfish way, but ask what your heart wants at that time.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.
