Your healing journey can take many roads. There are support groups, individual therapy, and a variety of self help books and programs. What is important is you begin. It is not an easy journey, but the freedom, strength, hope and restoration you will receive is absolutely worth it. You are worth it! Below are a few articles to help you along the way. Please visit our resources list for additional help 1. Realize there is something wrong. See Sexual Abuse or Pornography for more information on signs and symptoms. Denial is one of the hardest things of recovery. We want to believe that everything is fine, and the problem will just go away. Often, we think it is our fault and will go to great lengths to fix, change, chase down, correct, over compensate, re-make, remodel, re-invent to "fix" the problem. Denial will keep us pretending that everything is fine. In reality there is a huge elephant in our living room and we are pretending it doesn't exist. Trust your instincts! They are probably right. 2. Get help! 3. Your discovery of truth will set you free. The unraveling of the lies, denial and dysfunctional patterns, attitudes, behaviors, and thinking requires commitment and a passion for healing. Healing and restoration will begin to weave a new and beautiful tapestry for you. 4. A good motivation for seeking help is for the lives of your children and grandchildren. Pornography and Sexual Abuse is a generational secret that will perpetuate unless the cycle of abuse is identified and dealt with. Be the one who fights for the next generation and makes a difference! Ignoring it, will gurantee it will be passed down to the next generation. 5. Keep on the journey. 6. Share with others. Support groups are a great place to share. The secret isn't so devastating when you realize that others share the secret also. 7. Learn to take care of yourself. For many, this a foreign concept and has to be developed and nurtured. Find what is nurturing to you. It may be church, hobby, setting healthy boundaries, learning to say "no" or embracing your unique and wonderful self! Articles: Ultimate Source of Healing Healthy Boundaries |
