SESSION ONE: REMEMBERING
Based on Chapter One, this is the first step to coming out of abuse denial. A pivotal and often painful moment. Whenever you start to recall the abuse, it is never easy. It rocks your foundation to the core.
Joining me to share about how we dealt with our Remembering is our Guest Author Rachel Brooks.
As a recovering perfectionist, Rachel dealt heavily with the stress and dangers of striving to be the best, struggling with body dysmorphia, eating disorders, self-esteem, and self-image issues. She radically transformed her life by creating a positive mindset, a healthy body, and a soul filled with self-love and gratitude.
I am so glad you found this safe teaching space where twice a month for 21 weeks I will bring in a Guest Author to teach on the phases of coming out of abuse denial outlined in this book. I woke up from a dream when I was 42 understanding I was molested as a young child, and my whole life changed forever… for the better.
But not right away.
I went through some very painful stages and struggled to find support groups that could take me on a linear path of recovery or remove a victim mentality. I understood I had to walk through shedding the denial first so I could write about it in my book, and then teach the process in hindsight.
When we have been abused, our subconscious lies about the truth to us for as long as it can before we are emotionally ready. For some, this is quick, but for many others like me, it took decades to face the abuse, understand the past and find a new voice. By then, I had already functioned as a false persona in so many areas of my life for so long, I didn’t even know who I was. Abuse had altered my original identity and affected the way I handled money, spirituality, friendships, success, and my ability to love myself.
“As Kim's book shows us, there is support available to help you embrace all the goodness that you have denied yourself out of shame or denial. Reading this book is a wonderful gift to yourself if you are struggling with your own healing, or for anyone you know who needs support and encouragement to finally break free from the chains of abuse to embrace the love — from yourself and others — that awaits you.”
