    • About Me

      I owe my life to Jesus. Life has been hard, but He saved me and made me new. There's nothing I have that He hasn't given me. When His love fills my heart, I feel at peace and completely fulfilled.

    • Close Sexual Abuse

      From the ages of 4 to 13, I was sexually abused by 2 of my brothers. At age 14, one of my brothers told my parents about the abuse (I am grateful becuase I may have never told). Over the past years I have been seeking healing, which I have recieved in measures. The abuse has greatly affected almost all aspects my life. Here I am.

      Treatments

      Writing Working / Worked
      Writing can be very helpful. I talk to God about my pain and what I am feeling. Then I let Him respond & write down what He speaks to my heart, which brings much healing.
      Group Therapy Working / Worked
      It has been great to talk to people with similar experiences. I have never had that kind of support outside of the family before. It's wonderful & brings fresh insight.
      Abuse Counseling Somewhat Helpful
      Somewhat helpful. It was hard for me to share in depth my pain with someone who had not gone thru something similar to what I have. It was very good for surface issues.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Having supportive parents is very helpful, especially during overwhelming, emergency times - which seem to happen often when dealing with this kind of issue.
      Prayer Working / Worked
      Talking to God (journaling or speaking) is very helpful. He knows all my pain and fears and everything that I have gone through. The best comfort is found in Him.
      Meditation Working / Worked
      Reading aloud the Word of God shines light into the darkness (something to be done often). It brings truth and real healing.
    • Close Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

      Treatments

      Acidophilus Working / Worked
      Just started. Seems to be helping if I take it before each meal.
      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
      Helps to stay away from meats and excess sugar and also MSG (Monosodium Glutamate)
      Aloe Vera Working / Worked
      Helps soothe the digestive tract.
      Talking Working / Worked
      As soon as I get symptoms of IBS, if I go back & talk about my feelings, usually ones that were stuffed, I'll sometimes find relief.
      Probiotics Working / Worked
      Helps to naturally regulate the digestive tract.
