Welcome new readers:
My name is Kathleen. I have quite a story of recovery and growth to share with you, along with the struggles and challenges I still face daily.
My journey of recovery from family child sexual abuse and violence to living a better life each day has had a lot of stops and starts, pain and joy, anger and grief, tears and laughter. I have met many people along this path, some who have helped, some who have hindered and got in my way. I have found my resilience and tenacity to go forward, “no matter what.” I learned and embraced how to “bounce” in life. At times, I landed with a splat. Mostly, I rebounded and figured out another way. I will be sharing these generic events in my life.
This blog is about the “how” of my road of recovering, which is still in process.
After many other types of therapy, I started DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). I will also be sharing how this therapy is integrating in my life, the light bulb moments of learning about the hidden part of my issues as well the struggles that arise from dealing and healing from past beliefs. It is my hope that I will be able to make peace with the last dregs of my past.
Another section of this blog will be occasional segments about being married for the second time; what I learned from my first marriage and how we work at staying married now. As a person in ongoing recovery, I face struggles with my healing process and being with someone who loves me no matter what. It is that intersection that I am still working on.
I will also offer something more light-hearted such as pictures and commentary, interesting facts and other what-not stuff. It will be am opportunity for me to share anecdotes, too.
I hope you will find something of value, something touching, something motivating, and hopefully, at times, something entertaining within this blog.
As you comment, I will work to answer your questions. I am also in the beginning stages of launching my two businesses, so bear with me as I work toward the magic junction of incorporating it all.
Again, thank you for reading, and welcome!
