Heal your trauma with @JennaPhillipsBallard #traumahealing #trauma #podcastclips #podcast

The way that we choose to interpret the experiences that we have, the way that trauma is experienced in our body is different for everybody. As someone who has experienced sexual trauma not just once, but twice, what I can say is the way that I chose to heal through that is in the choosing to forgive. I'm curious about what happened to both of them in their life that had them feel like that was the thing to do, for them to make that choice. What happened, what broke them, what rob them of their innocence? And when I choose to forgive, not only do they not have my power any longer, but I can choose an interpretation that's going to forward me. Most people will choose to cling onto the victim conversation that they were victimized, that they were abused, that they were taken advantage of, that their joy was stolen. We must be willing to look at the event, the interpretation, the experience, the pain, all of it. And of course, pain is inevitable. We're all going to experience that as people, as human beings.
