The Courage to Heal Series: Taking Stock Part II

Join us as host Faith Reagan continues with the third show in "The Courage to Heal Series," which is based on the book "The Courage to Heal:  A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse," authored by Ellen Bass and Laura Davis.

As the last show ended, Faith was discussing the process of taking stock and explaining the "building blocks of safety" including how to create ground rules, create boundaries (or as Laura Davis put it "build a container"), find a safe spot, establish your privacy, and establish a protective pattern and/or routine.  Faith will pick up where she left off in establishing a protective pattern and then continue with building your support system by making lists and asking yourself the right questions to know who directly supports you in your healing.  After answering these questions, things to think about are:  Were there any surprises in looking at all the people in my life and, if so, what were they?  Can I imagine someone supporting me and why or why not?  What's standing between me and a better support system?

Tune in to learn how to progress on your healing journey.  May peace be with you!

As stated before, although not necessary for participation or listening, I encourage you to acquire your own copy of both "The Courage to Heal" and "The Courage to Heal Workbook" if you are able.  Not only will the workbook provide you with exercises and activities, it will also serve as a journal of your journey.
