Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about me and my journey. It has taken me over four decades to understand and gain the knowledge that what I was exposed to and living through was not normal. If someone asked me if I was abused, I would have said, "No".
It hurts to know that many people are suffering and don’t even know
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about me and my journey. It has taken me over four decades to understand and gain the knowledge that what I was exposed to and living through was not normal. If someone asked me if I was abused, I would have said, "No".
It hurts to know that many people are suffering and don’t even know that they were or are continuing to be manipulated and abused. We believed that our caregivers, romantic partners, professional partners, and or friends, were acting in good faith. At the same time, feeling that something was off or just not right.
It is difficult to wrap the heart and mind around the fact that people have the ability to purposely hurt. It makes sense that when you grow up with or later get exposed to toxicity, you don’t usually have a reference for what is normal and what is not.
Over time our reality gets blurred, we doubt ourselves. This is very damaging emotionally, physically, and mentally.
One of my biggest struggles was with the constant rumination and negative thoughts while awake. Then the insomnia when trying to force sleep. The chronic hypervigilance, panic, social anxiety, to name a few, because of the fear that was instilled in me. This was mind-numbing and coupled with the tension and physical pain was debilitating.
The current DSM does not include Complex PTSD as a diagnosis, and therefore, no work on recovery. Not being able to correctly identify, discuss, and fix my experience when I reached out for professional help was exhausting. Internet searches gave me the awareness and knowledge that I was lacking. There was still a piece missing. I was stuck. It was very helpful to finally realize that something wasn’t right, but, now what!
Life coaching and a safe community with people who understand, gave me the hope that I needed to gain confidence and to take my control back. This is not an easy journey. It is a constant wave of high’s and low’s.
