I know that sometimes this can be a tough row to hoe, but it's true none the less. Innate value existed on the day you were born and it's only the illusions of calamity that can make us think its no longer there. YOU HAVE VALUE THAT THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU HAVE FAILED TO SHOW YOU. Find the people that can!

The cool part is healing and moving on doesn’t require anyone else’s participation, admission or expression of regret. While it may seem hard to fathom, we have complete control over what we decide to have in our hearts and that is what determines our level of contentment and serenity.

I hope you folks can take the time to read Neglected Damaged Graced. I want you to see that I am not just an academic that went to school and now knows how to say a bunch of fluffy stuff. My story got as dark as it can get, I hurt as bad as only we can hurt. Over the last 40 years I have helped 1000's of us recover and heal. Together we have tried everything and I now know what works and what doesn't. I know the stumbling blocks and the stepping stones, I want you to know them too.

When a baby is born it has no doubts. It only knows discomfort. Starting at its first breath it seeks comforting. When that comforting is not sufficiently provided it learns doubt. All toxic relationships have the same affect.

Healing with the help would be an amazing Grace but not everyone who hurts can function at that level, especially if they've failed to function at that level in the past. Don't hold your breath. #Moveon#traumahealing#abused#neglected#neglecteddamagedgraced
AND NOW FOR A WORD FROM OUR CHILDREN.
Your bosses won't remember it!
Sure there are people that need to work to survive, and they should. This isn't about them. This is about finding that balance between the two. This is a bout chasing money while your child is chasing a ball. Not an easy choice for sure but we never get another chance to watch them grow and support them emotionally.

I'm not saying that is easy. What I know for sure is that having people around us and in our lives that have changed gives us proof that it is possible. I think that is why some of my friends pushed me to write Neglected Damaged Graced. It's proof and I hope, inspiration that you can change and overcome obstacles too!

I created this meme a few years back when I realized that being broken had become part of my role in life, part of my identity. It actually shocked me a little because I thought I was over it. There will come a time when being offended has ended and then the healing must begin. Letting go of old injuries is a major part of erasing the pain and reforming our new identities; it will be a key factor to creating the life you deserve. We can't become who we are if we let the past actions of others dictate how we are now. The memory of the trauma may persist but please don't let those memories stop you from becoming who you were meant to be. LIVING WELL IS THE BEST REVENGE!
I wrote https://t.co/ULOHhz23W0 to explain how I healed.

After 3 1/2 years writing the book and staring at my wounds throughout most of COVID, I'm happy to say that the dreams of that little boy broken by abuse and neglect, who wanted to become a therapist and help people, did come true. All I had to do was get the offenders, and the memories of those offenders out of the way. I had to let them go and the writing of the book was my final act of releasing their story. It was their failing not mine.

No one wants these things to happen and even though it may sound a little corny we are unique and special because of our unique experiences. I BELIEVE THAT BY TAKING THESE NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES AND TURNING THEM INTO POSITIVE EXPERIENCES FOR OTHERS, WE REVERSE THEIR CRUELTY AND THEREBY MAKE GRACE.

While it may at times seem like we are intolerant, abused and neglected people are usually very generous people when it comes to looking past the misdeeds of others. It’s almost like we have a built in immunity. It’s like an emotional nose-blindness to ridiculousness. This becomes more obvious when we tell someone about what’s going on and they’re shocked that we deal it. Sometimes, at times, it becomes time, to move on!

Sometimes our wounds make us focus on the offender so much that we lose site of the way we want to be. If I could give you one gift it would be that your offender becomes irrelevant to you. BECAUSE THEY SHOULD BE. BECAUSE THEY HAVE MEANT TOO MUCH FOR TOO LONG.

The clearest evidence I see of these ghosts is the haunting damage to self-esteem and self-worth. The ghost of objectification, when abused people become objects (usually sexual) instead of people. That is what happens when someone steals our personhood in exchange for sex. BUT IT'S JUST A GHOST FROM THE PAST It's a reflection of them not us. #traumahealing #abused #sexualabuse #complextrauma #complextraumarecovery #complextraumahealing
I wish you had been treated better; I wish we all had. I could talk about this subject for hours; I think I do in the book. That's the neglect part. I spent 3 years writing it, not to make money but to help people. I hope you join me by spreading light and positivity to help bring people out of the shadows of other peoples ignorance. Please Like/Follow, Share and Comment. And thank you for being here! You matter more than they want you to believe, WAY MORE THAN THEIR ACTIONS EVER SHOWED.

Everything I say on this page is NOT going to be fun to hear. The shit that happened to people like me wasn’t fun to experience. The lack of truth and honesty compounded the problem. As a child I was afraid to speak out; I’VE FOUND MY VOICE!!
FYI The truth would set them free but their egos have enslaved them!
