Hi From a Newbie - Finding my Way One Step at a Time...

[Persistant]

Hello Everyone,

I am really pleased to have found this forum and honoured to join it. Like all of you, I imagine, I have been making my way slowly but surely through the darkness into light of healing and recovery. As I become more aware of the trauma and injury from the familal abuse that I experienced I learn more about myself and especially how I responded to the abuse - my coping mechanisms. It is often a dark and lonely place but I also have hope and try to exercise some discipline in that respect, I am going to focus on being my true authentic self.

I have come here to  share, I want to ask for support and I want to give my support to others. So I wish you all well on your journey and look forward to sharing with you.

Thank you three roses !

You know, when I first looking at this forum as a 'guest' the one quote I remember is "cptsd is not an illness, it's an injury" - synchronicity !
