My severe childhood abuse and neglect led to years suffering from C-PTSD and then to addictions.
It looked like:
· Very high anxiety
· Depression
· Insomnia
· Flash backs
· Inability to focus
· Low self-esteem/low self-worth
· People pleasing
It took a serious mental breakdown to realize I needed serious help.
At several points in my life I contemplated suicide!
After a period of homelessness and wanting to die, I went to a residential treatment facility for co-occurring, as my addictions had also come to a head.
In treatment I learned:
· Self-love/Self-respect (most important)
· Forgiveness of others and self
· Boundaries
· How to deal with triggers
· How to find peace within myself
This came in time after getting in touch with my Higher Power. I talk to Him and listen while in mindfulness, meditation, and Tai Chi.
It is my passion to help others overcome their adversities and find authenticity.
