Stages of Healing

These are necessary to do, but it is not in a set order. First make the decision to Heal. Keep this promise to yourself and make a commitment to continue on with the healing.

Remembering

Many survivors suppress the memories of what happened to them when they were so very young. The remembering of your past is just another step to healing. You have to get your feelings and trust in yourself back and the pain will pass, I promise.

Let it out

When you talk to another person or group setting about your experience it will help to remove the shame of being a victim.

Knowing it was not your fault

Some believe the abuse is their fault. No, it is not, put the blame where it belongs, on the abuser.

Trust yourself

Learn to trust your own feelings again. Give yourself some credit and faith that you will be okay.

Mourning

This is a struggle, but one that can be a very useful tool. Grieve for your pain and give it a time to let go. Time to let go is now. You can do it.

Anger

This is a powerful force to be sure of. Directing this energy at the abuser and the people who were supposed to protect you and chose to turn their heads and let it happen. This is a huge step to face, but necessary. Your healing steps are coming along great.

Forgiveness

This is a consideration for yourself. Though to forgive makes forgetting easier to achieve.

Aquire your souls power

Religion, meditation, support groups are all positive choices to take in the process of healing.

God Bless and be well!
