Episode Description:

I didn't believe healing was possible. Early on, I didn't even understand how deeply impacted I had been by my experiences of sexual abuse and neglect.

While not easy or quick, healing is possible! I share a bit of my process and how different life feels on the other side of healing in this video.

Episode Notes:

- Peggy shares her personal journey of healing from sexual abuse, aiming to break down misconceptions that therapists are inherently different or have an easier path to healing.

- She discusses experiencing nearly all typical symptoms of abuse survivors, including low self-esteem, self-destructive behaviors, anxiety, and depression, though she avoided substance addiction.

- Healing transformed her self-perception, allowing her to believe in her worth, embrace her true self, and let go of harmful beliefs instilled by her trauma.

- She highlights the importance of vulnerability and self-acceptance, now able to share her experiences publicly without fear of judgment, showing how her confidence has grown.

- Peggy encourages others, assuring that meaningful change is possible with time, patience, and support, even if it feels unimaginable at the beginning of the healing journey.
