The health benefits of boxing have surpassed my expectations. To me, it’s like another form of meditation because you must be in the NOW with focus and concentration.

Thanks Ryan for teaching me how to float like a beautiful butterfly and STING like a bee.

I had the honour of meeting Andrea at Chapters while on my Western Canada/USA book tour a couple months ago.

In Chapter six of my book, The Dissociate I talk about the healing continuum. Breaking the silence takes a great deal of courage to share what happened. The powerful healing force behind telling another human being will help you move forward.

Here is comments from Andrea….

“I met you a couple months ago at Chapters in Coquitlam and shared a bit of my story with you. Since that day it opened the bandage a bit more to allow my hurt to continue healing. I feel I was meant to run into you that day as I may have been stuck in the progress so this definitely changed my thinking towards my struggle. I have not yet read your book but I plan to get to it very soon. I admire your courage to come out and share your story so thank you for being so brave. Best regards to you.” 

Sincerely,
Andrea

Thank-you Andrea for trusting me with your story. You are strong and courageous.

You are not alone.

The more survivors I talk to the more I realize what a debilitating, dangerous emotion shame is. The most powerful way to begin overcoming shame is to start telling your story about your abuse. If you don’t, shame will continue to exist. Speaking the truth will truly set you free. I really like this article: 7 steps to Move through Shame, Fear and Regret
