Untying the Knot. The Woman that Found in Forgiveness a Reason to Heal
After 30 years in the corporate world, Brenda's body started sending signals that something wasn't right. She got adrenal fatigue, stress syndrome, and memory loss. It was a wake-up call, and it was also an invitation to look at her story and find out the real reason for her afflictions. She was abandoned at age 3, and her life wouldn't get any better in the forthcoming years. She experienced all kinds of abuse, from physical to sexual, mental, and even spiritual. It seemed that every person in her life was there to abuse her; friends, lovers, husbands, bosses, and above them all, herself.
She began a personal recovery journey, fighting against several addictions, and most importantly, she needed to stop blaming everyone but her for her suffering.
