Dear Tiffany:

We take our home-of-origin with us wherever we go. No matter how different the home where you now live, the images and voices of the violence you suffered are imprinted in your brain and so, they are not gone. The emotions involved in these imprints are still … in motion, still needing resolution. Healing has to be done, and that requires more than a change in location. Getting away from abusive homes is most important and necessary- cutting contact with abusers, necessary so to begin healing.

Is it possible for you to attend psychotherapy with a competent, caring therapist?
