The Unseen Path: Embracing My Healing Journey

Welcome back to "Healing from Emotional Wounds: Insights from a Therapist.

It's super eerie to read back and realize that he felt like someone I was supposed to meet, but it's also so true. I remember having a tarot card reading with a client, who told me I would meet someone who loved for me to sing and dance. Remarkably, he encouraged and enjoyed both of these things. Looking back now, and more so, knowing how God has placed this path on my spirit, I have no doubt we were meant to meet, no matter the struggles we endured throughout the relationship.

It's also pretty saddening to realize that I needed to heal then, even though I thought I was in a great place. At that time, I was traveling, loving my own company, had lost some weight, and felt the best I'd ever felt. Yet, I hadn't healed from my past relationship trauma. I was numb, hesitant, and lacked trust.

The embarrassment of knowing the signs and symptoms kept me quiet for far too long. Walking on eggshells, consumed by anxiety and depression, I tried to navigate the complexities of the relationship. It wasn't until I finally mustered the courage to end it that the reality of the emotional abuse hit me hard. Even now, as I share my story, I struggle to hold back tears.

It's easy to say, "If only I'd known what I know now," but I've learned to trust and believe that nothing happens by chance. Every experience, even the painful ones, serves a purpose in our lives. And now, this is my time to heal. This is my time to share my journey with you all, to help others who might be going through similar struggles.

Writing and sharing my experiences have become a crucial part of my healing process. God has put it on my spirit to use my voice to tell my story, with the hope that it will resonate with and support others. By opening up, I aim to break the silence that often accompanies emotional abuse and to create a community where we can heal together.

Thank you for joining me on this path. Together, we will embrace the lessons of the past, heal from our wounds, and find strength and resilience within ourselves. Stay tuned for more insights and reflections as we continue this journey together.

Thank you so much for being here.
