For me therapy is what actually allowed me to finally put the abuse in the past. By going through the process I learned how the abuse was still affecting me today and gained a greater understanding of myself. I started having flashbacks and then had no choice but to remember. I could have either stayed in that place or work toward reclaiming myself. I'm not going to lie, it was painful and hard and I wanted to quit many times over. But in the end, it is so worth it! I have reclaimed my mind, body and spirit. The best money I have ever spent on myself.
