Remembering your past so you can find your future!

Reliving the past.

Thinking back on my childhood isn't something I ever wanted to reflect on as a young adult but as I got into a place of desperation to find some peace in my mind that's exactly what I had to do. I started counseling with a Christian counselor that was especially trained to deal with post traumatic syndrome. One of the first things he wanted to work on was reliving the traumatic events that shaped who I was. I have to tell you just speaking the words made my heart race, my hand sweat and I felt physically ill.
I never wanted to tell anyone what I had been through, especially a man. But that's exactly what I ended up doing apt after apt. And that was what began the healing process for my mind & soul. The more I talked about it, the more I wasn't so traumatized by it.
I just want to encourage you in looking at your life today and asking yourself if your emotionally stuck. Do you have relationship problems, sleeping problems, anger issues?
Do you have no self worth, self hatred and low self esteem. If you answered yes to these questions then it might be time to face the giants in your life.
Is your past running your future? My past was and let me tell you now that I've found healing I have experienced a whole new life! One I never know I could have. I am not that same little girl that walked into that Dr.'s office in 1996 I am a woman of God that walks in peace, that experiences joy. I no longer deal with jealousy issues and am thrilled that no insecurities run my life! Night terrors, anxiety attacks, relationship problems, self hatred they are ALL behind me. And I haven't missed them. Not one bit. Living in freedom and in peace is what I want for each of you as well.
So my prayer and hope is your read this article and make a decision to make an apt for some good Christian counseling to begin the healing process your for mind and soul.
