Today’s episode will be the 3rd installment of what life looks like to someone after a life of abuse on their journey to a healthier lifestyle. We will discuss dealing with your emotions after a toxic relationship.

Dealing with emotions can be a very delicate situation because you don’t always know when, where, or even how you may have offended someone as you triggered them as they are journeying to their recovery. Dealing with your own is more than enough to deal with.

As you are processing your emotions, you are able to realize what it is you really want; what you don't want; what you will accept; and what you will not accept because now you are able to be cognizant enough to specify the boundaries that will keep you in peace.

As always I will leave other resources for you and for your loved ones if you are supporting them after a life of abuse.

Thank you for listening.  I appreciate your support.

In this brief episode, we will discuss what life looks like for someone after they are no longer in an abusive situation. 

In order to be more successful with life, it’s best to plan. However, if you are in an abusive situation, sometimes depending on the severity of danger, you need to leave immediately. And even that looks different case by case. Each situation is dangerous, but some are at more imminent danger than others. The victims are the ones who know what level of danger they are dealing with even if they don’t know what to do about it or are afraid to do anything about it. 

As always I will leave other resources for you and for your loved ones if you are supporting them after a life of abuse. 

Thank you for listening.  I appreciate your support.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope everyone enjoyed their New Year celebration into the new decade.  There are those among us who do not feel they have a reason to celebrate.  Hopefully, these stats will assist you understanding why this is no happy occasion for them.  

Children are the most affected by the violence that happen in the home.  Most (who do not seek counseling or other supports to deal with trauma) grow up to be victims or perpetrators of abuse themselves.  This year, we will discuss different aspects of abuse and how we are able to support our loved ones through the healing process.

Below are some links to help you with other resources on gaining more knowledge on abuse and how to help those you love.

This intermittent episode is about what victims, survivors, and supporters of abuse are dealing with during the holidays.  

The spirit of Christmas is a chaotic but happy time for most.  For those in my title, it can be very daunting to say the least.  The last thing anyone wants to deal with is depression and trauma at this time, regardless your position.

My hope is that everyone is in a safe place and enjoying time with their loved ones.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.  As a survivor and Restoration Strategist, I urge each of you to consider getting involved decreasing the occurrences of this form of violence happening in your local community. 

Three benefits of getting involved are:

According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence - 1:4 women and 1:9 men experience severe intimate partner physical violence, Intimate Partner sexual contact, and or Intimate Partner stalking with impacts such as injury; fearfulness; PTSD; use of victim services, contraction of STDs, etc...

The Domestic Violence luncheon was hosted by the YWCA of Central VA

The Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Vigil was hosted by the Alpha Chi Omega chapter in Central Virginia

This episode was very emotional for me as to the reason it is short.

Suicide is a very serious conversation to have.  If you don't know what to look for, one of the feelings you may experience is helplessness as I did.  

This past Thursday was National Mental Health Day and I participated in a free class in my local community on being alert for signs of someone who may be contemplating suicide. 

I also participated in a local "Out of the Darkness" walk hosted by my hometown raising awareness.  As I was walking, more suppressed memories of loved ones began unfolding and I allowed them to come out as I was crying during the walk.  

Finding classes in your community to assist you with learning the signs of someone contemplating suicide is a very helpful resource to equip you with what to do if you are ever in the presence of someone with these thoughts. 

As always, thank you for listening and I appreciate you support.

This is an episode of my experiences with domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, and suicide.

I don't go into deep detail, but this will help you to understand that I do have experience with each of the subject matters and why I became a Restoration Strategist. 

This weekend, I will participate in the "Out of the Darkness" walk for suicide prevention in my area.

I will be back next week discussing my 1st experience with the walk and more during Domestic Violence Awareness month. 

As always thanks for listening.

You are greatly appreciated.
