Cecelia
In and out of therapy since she was sixteen, Cecelia read everything she could find written by others who experienced child abuse or sexual abuse. These books related the facts of the events. They didn’t really offer any understanding of what it takes to recover.When your spirit has been spent you don’t know where to begin. How do you learn to love, when you were raised without love? How do you learn that you are loveable? How do you learn to love yourself? How do you learn to forgive? First and foremost, I hope that others like myself will find within these pages a few ideas or tools to use to create a better life for themselves. Life is after all what you choose to make it. The power to change your life for the better is within you. You just have to find it.For the general public, I hope to give a glimpse of the pain, turmoil, rage, confusion, numbness, frustration, disappointment, and malcontent we find ourselves saddled with. In this way they may be able to recognize how they can become instrumental in helping someone who is silently screaming for help.
