SESSION SIX: Therapy
Based on Chapter Six, therapy is a very helpful resource when coming out of abuse denial. Who do I choose to help me? Will I be able to handle what comes up in therapy? These are key questions for many survivors seeking professional help. We will suggest self-care mindsets to employ while healing.
Joining me to share tools to pick a therapist and feel safe is our Mira Rocca.
Mira Rocca is an Integrative Psychotherapist, whose passion lies in helping women heal their relationships with themselves, their bodies, and their growing up story. She is dedicated to helping individuals overcome problems with food, body image, depression, anxiety, and trauma. She helps people see that there is a better way to live, and guides them on a path to truly live at the top of your priority list.
Mira creates space for you to inhabit your body, while learning to balance your own vulnerability and inner strengths. And most importantly to simply feel safe in our bodies so we can truly thrive. This allows you to heal old wounds and feel more grounded and empowered in your life today. Mira is also HIGH (Horse Inspired Growth and Healing) Certified at Big Heart Ranch in Malibu, CA.
Knowing these Gentle Beings teach us so much if we just pause long enough to pay attention. The Ranch creates so many metaphors for life, for our growing up story, and for our soul healing!!! Mira is a happily married, busy mama of three. Her ability to balance life and work with grace is something she loves teaching and empowering other people to do so as well.
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, lost without support groups that could take me on a linear path of recovery or remove a victim mentality. I understood I had to walk through the shedding of 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.
“This book is truly a gift to sexual abuse survivors. Kim delivers a courageously candid and insightful depiction of her devastating experience as a survivor of incest.”
