How to heal completely from trauma.
We've all had past trauma. Whether from childhood or past lovers.
With these wounds, we attract people that worsen it.
So we move from one abusive relationship to another. With growing hatred for ourselves and the opposite sex. Which often lead to substance abuse.

Not everyone will like to admit to their wounds.
But we all need some help because we're humans. Raised by humans. Surrounded by humans.
And humans by nature are imperfect. So there's bound to be mistakes that leave scars.

The hardest part - Talking about it.
It's hard to share your past trauma because you fear rejection and alienation from people.
But the more you keep them in, the more its effects grow. The less you trust people. And the harder it is to forgive yourself and the abuser.

You didn't know any better
You blame yourself for not doing enough at the time of the abuse.
This is the cause of substance abuse that act as a coping mechanism.
Letting go of what you could have done to avoid it will give you freedom.

Forgive your abusers
Forgive your parents. Forgive your abusive uncle. Forgive your ex.
Give them grace. Understand that they're only humans with imperfections (just like anyone else)
Because the grudge you hold will have you attracting more abusers.

Be thankful for it.
Quite ridiculous, but this mindset kills the victim mentality you've developed.
For example, you see the experience as a tool to help other people struggling with trauma.

Be community oriented.
People strengthen people. People help people.
Isolation is bad. And we're not created to be alone.
Join communities. Play sports. Go to church. Go to the gym.
Your wounded self will thank you.

Connect with God.
Jesus really heals. Many times we lack the confidence to share these things with people.
But God always listens.
