I’m Taking Back Control: Reclaiming My Story from Child Sexual Abuse and Shame
;
I am working very hard to be the person I can be proud of! I have a looong way to go before I’m there, but I have hope that I will get there.
I was abused by my father for many years, starting at the age of six. My sibling was also involved. My mental health is a jumble of several diagnoses, anxiety, depression, and self-loathing. I have lived many years in a never-ending shame spiral that I didn’t think I could ever find a way out. Forever a victim mindset…
I came across Saprea as a friend of mine is a Younique Ambassador and Community Educator for Saprea. Almost immediately I was intrigued. I have not been to the retreat yet but I have signed up to the webinar and hope I can be brave enough to go to the retreat in the future.
I am done letting my past define me, and I want to take back control of my life. I am the author of my story, and I get to decide what happens from here.
Here’s to a more positive future!
