  • Trauma not transformed is trauma transferred.
    Many times, we choose to conceal our traumatic experiences because we are afraid of the consequences of speaking up and speaking out. Erick Opon was afraid for 21 years. He felt unclean and unworthy. This is his story

    Sometimes we blame ourselves for what's not actually our mess...We fight battles that no one can ever imagine because we feel like we are second hand human beings with a second hand God...and then one day you'll find ppl telling you that that's God's plan...that everything that happens does for a reason...what reason? What justification does the world have when one's innocence is robbed off? Humanity... Humanity is one precious gift that we can give people and let's always learn not to stigmatize victims of any form of abuse! Thanks Eric for sharing this😊

    It hurts cz maybe we expected them to act otherwise but instead they pull Us down when they act otherwise..
    It's soo painful..
    Am happy that your still strong and healthy..
