Remnants
Remnants of emotional wounding holding you back?
Ready to pull out all the stops?
What “stops” many survivors is inaccurate or incomplete information…about themselves…about the wounding.
See Katelyn’s Clearing below showing how her discovery of the truth about herself allowed her to move forward.
Ready to “come clean” by letting the past clear?
You are not your wound. There is so much more to you than your wound. Don’t let it become your identity. Instead, obtain the professional help you need to work through it. Then release it, so that you can move forward and be all that you are.
Katelyn’s Clearing
Abused as a child, Katelyn had spent most of her life feeling “less than” those around her. She’d made significant strides in therapy, but still, years later, it continued to be a stumbling block for her.
Frustrated by the whole thing, she knew she was equal to others, but somehow that knowledge didn’t connect all the way through. She still felt “less than.”
Then one morning after writing about it in her journal, she read back through her notes. To her surprise she found she was reading something she had no recollection of writing!
My opportunity to grow and mature in a safe, loving environment was taken from me. Being taken from in this way does not “reduce” me – my worth. This is inside-out understanding.
I was “taken from” on the outside – my experience was “taken from.” I was not taken from on the inside – my spirit is fully intact.
I, my spirit, cannot truly be “taken from” in this way. It’s like thinking the sky has been taken away because the clouds are present. The sky is still in place. These experiences and what I came to believe about myself “cloud” my view of what truly is. They obscure my view of who I really am.
I want to give to others all the time because I feel like I am lacking. It is my attempt to “fill” myself – fill in what was taken. “Filling” is not needed. My spirit is fully intact. Clearing is needed. Clear the clouds. Clear the misperceptions of myself. My spirit is fully intact! I don’t have to be afraid to see who I really am. I am fine. I am totally… absolutely…fine. I don’t need to keep myself, from myself, anymore.
Katelyn wasn’t sure if she was more stunned or relieved by what she read. Smiling, she knew, perhaps for the first time, that everything was going to be okay.
————————————————–
Katelyn realized in her journal writing that she had believed things about herself that weren’t true. Not being in full connection with herself made it hard for her to know these previous beliefs were inaccurate.
