I felt prompted to share this. Someone needs to hear this. If we don't share our past traumatic experiences, others can't learn from the mistakes that were made.
Healing from trauma is a process, and we all heal differently and within different time frames. People isolate themselves to avoid hurtful situations from being repeated. Some people reach a point where their hearts can't handle anymore abuse. God understands this, but people often don't understand.
Those who have not walked in your shoes will tell you to move on and forget about it, but it's not as easy as that. Forgiveness is not about forgetting. They don't understand that your reluctance is not about unforgiveness, it is about self-preservation and your own protection. If they can't respect that, then they are part of the problem.
Certain situations can trigger memories of a traumatic experience. These emotional triggers can only be understood by the person who had that experience. Those on the outside looking in have no clue what that person is feeling.
Watch this video if you are in the process of healing from any kind of emotional abuse. Sarah was very helpful to me during a time when my shattered heart desperately needed a supportive, kind word.
Please note that the word "witchcraft" in this video means any type of control or manipulation on your life.
