TRANSFORMING Trauma: Be Better not Bitter

Learning to work through childhood trauma whether it is physical, emotional or spiritual abuse can leave you feelingBetter or Bitter. It’s your choice. This is true regarding other losses in your life, whether it be the loss of a loved one, a divorce, the loss of your health or the loss of job. When you are able to accept and embrace all of your feelings (especially fear and anger) you will understand that everything happens for a reason. You will learn to let go and let God. The more you let go of the past and the future with all its “what ifs” the more fully you live in the present moment, and experience peace. Letting go may mean forgiving yourself and others a little at a time. However, forgiving yourself is usually the hardest person to forgive and yet it is the most important. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself and it is truly the bridge to inner freedom, peace and transformation.
