Starting my journey of opening up
Hi All. I’ve recently started receiving counselling for personal and relationship issues. My counsellor suggested I search for stories like mine to help me open up about previous experiences that has lead me to where I am today.
Having found this site and read some of your stories and your journeys has already been helpful. I applaud you all for your openness and courage to confront the issues you’ve faced.
I have been too ashamed to ever verbalize a lot of what happened when I was a minor. I have so much self-blame still in me. My counsellor suggested I write things down if I have difficulty saying them and I have already found this site useful for that.
I made my first posts in the Survivor Stories Forum.
I think interacting with people who have had similar experiences will be beneficial in my process of understanding.
I’m open to discussing things with other survivors and appreciate your perspectives. So feel free to message me any questions or thoughts you may have.
Thanks.
