Love and Trauma

Are you a victim of abuse? Do you let it consume you because you do not know how to deal with it? Child abuse happens more frequently than anyone would like to admit. Victims are often left feeling shame, guilt, or grief for a situation that they had no control over in the first place. We should no longer swallow what happened to us as children whether it be from physical, sexual, emotional, mental, or other abuses to protect someone else. We need to be done with making abuse a norm, and it is time to say enough is enough. No longer should we be ashamed or deny what happened to us in the past because of our unresolved trauma. Trauma can affect our lives through our physical and mental health, as well as our relationships with others. Often, we will mimic the same behaviours or tendencies as our abuser because we did not find resolution in our past trauma; thus, continuing the generational cycle of abuse. All you need to heal from your trauma is by first acknowledging what happened to you and time. This seems difficult, but if you can make time to brush your teeth or play on your phone then you can make time to heal. Healing can start by doing simple things like building a relationship with your smaller self, journaling, or talking out loud about your situation. It can even be as simple as smiling at yourself as you walk by a mirror before heading out the door in the morning. Alternatively, if you continue to let your trauma consume you, it will ultimately manifest into a probable diagnosis that you may not ever recover from. Now is the time to start healing and to make time for yourself. In this book, you will learn how this small girl grew up and let her trauma consume her for over thirty-four years.
