When Coming to Terms with a History of Abuse, the Best Gift You Can Give Yourself is the Time and Space to Heal in Peace

When coming to terms with a history of abuse, the best gift you can give yourself is the time and space to heal in peace. Your body’s been waiting for this moment to finally relax and release, and it’s normal to feel the need to retreat from the outside world. Don’t rush yourself.

Once you begin facing and healing from abuse, you’re stepping into one of the most sacred times of your life.

It’s a rebirth.

You’re welcoming your real self into the world– the woman you would have been if not for the abuse that impacted and altered every aspect of your life.

Pain does that– it sets us down a different path than love would have.

But now you’re healing, and you’re letting in all the love that you always deserved.

And part of this process means taking time to yourself to grieve, to reflect, to nourish yourself, to just BE. Your mind, body, and spirit desperately need it.

There’s no need to explain yourself to others either– you can simply let those closest to you know you’re working through something and will reach out when you’re ready.

Boundaries are important. This may even be the first time you’ve ever set any. So much to learn all at once!

That’s why it’s important to be patient and gentle with yourself.

If you need support taking care of yourself while healing from trauma and abuse, I can help you.

I’ve been where you are, and despite the pain I felt, I also look back at that time as being one of the most beautiful periods of my life.

I had the tools I needed to help myself through, and there’s more I know now that could have made the experience even better for myself.

I bring all of this to guide you through a healing journey that’s as peaceful as possible.
