Hey Heathershenhouse Listen, if people don't like how you talk about them in your story, then they should have behaved better! I've said this statement at least 5 times in the past week so people must need this message! You are NOT responsible for how your abuser feels, for how they think or behave, or for any consequences they experience as a result of you speaking your truth. A big part of processing your painful experiences is to focus solely on how YOU feel about them. Abusers like to use "guilt" to continue to control their victims: "Well if you tell this story, how will I ever get a job? I can't get better if I can't support myself. No one will believe you anyway..." Let me define guilt because this too gets very twisted... guilt is a feeling of worry, or unhappiness that you feel when you've caused harm. The ABUSER is the one who caused HARM yet they feel no guilt in trying to continue to manipulate you. From this day forward, reserve your guilt for times when you actually cause harm.... like if you accidentally run into a person with your shopping cart and run over their toe. Otherwise, you my friend, can tell your story without feeling any guilt, shame, or hesitation.... and when you do, you take your power back from the abuser! ***Abuse takes many forms... physical, mental, emotional, financial, sexual, psychological, etc. It's any behavior or action that threatens, injures, manipulates or controls another person. If you think you might be in an abusive relationship, please seek help immediately.*** Need help? Hit reply to this email and let's set up a free call! I'd love to help you work through any challenges you are facing. Coaching is always confidential, it's fast and effective, and it works! ************************************************************************ PS: LAST WEEK TO GET TICKETS TO WIN MY PINK CAMARO!!!
