I think sometimes just having the safe place to disclose that the trauma did happen, it is a very healing thing to do. Much of my journey has been around self forgiveness..
Why should we feel shame for the actions of others?
Whatever my current physical, mental, social or spiritual condition, I am always a person and equal in value to every other person. I am ALWAYS valuable and my life has a purpose. I am a connecting link between persons and I have my own unique place and my unique part in humanity.
