I was told -- "Rena You are not responsible for what happened to you as a child, but you are responsible for your life now as an adult. It's ok to be angry about what happened to you, but it's not ok to stay stuck there. You have work to do, a life to live.

You can't blame others for not being able to help you through your trauma, not everyone is equipped to do so, and many are at the beginning stages of learning how to help survivors through their trauma.

It is up to YOU to find those who can help you and educate them on your experiences so that they can help you heal and help other victims/survivors that follow." This is some of the best advice I ever received.

I am responsible for my healing and as an advocate, I can help healers / professionals understand how and what we need to heal. I have found this work very rewarding and healing for me. It took 3 appts to find the right professionals to help me, and I helped them!

Anger kept me stuck and gave my perpetrators a power they no longer had over me. I was no good to anyone. Finding the right tools and professionals helped me and having a Purpose of educating other professionals, is now helping other #survivors heal!
