I have cognitively understood much. I have understood healing journeys as I have helped parents of children with disabilities and friend move along a healing journey. What I never understood, though, is that I was allowed the same journey.

It scares me to say it still, but I am allowed to heal. I am allowed to apply what I have given to others to myself. I understand that I ""am"" allowed. Allowed to exist, to take up space, to have worth, to be important. I understand that...but I have to admit I still doubt it everyday.~ julie

I am so glad that I learned to journal. I go back to my journals and am even perplexed at times. Why were those small honest moments so hard to achieve. My journals help me realize how far I have come. Those small moments, small steps have added up into days, miles.

How far have you traveled? ~ julie

I find myself exhaling more often. I don't mean just breathing out, I mean taking a deep breath in and blowing it out so that I can hear it; sometimes through my nose and other times through my mouth. Exahles of tiredness, frustration, eye rolling exhales, exhales of saddness.

With each exhale, though, I reflect. I ponder. I wonder...what am I exhaling. What am I letting go?

Do you exhale; do you have a way to release? ~ julie

"""Get a backbone"" is a phrase that I have heard throughout my life. Getting a backbone means to stand strong; stand up; push through; speak up...and so much more.

I talk quite a bit about boundaries; the lack of them; a concept I had not heard until I started my healing journey. So today, I think of boundaries as just not a concept, but a post and rail fence that keeps me safe. An open fence so that I can see beyond its boundaries. Boundaries that need to stay steady and fast and potentially be expanded when I am ready to move out of my comfort zone.

How would you describe your boundaries? ~ julie

This is a powerful quote. I have talked quite a bit about self-love, self-compassion, and self-love. But I do not think I have eer brought up self-respect. Those two words make me feel a bit uncomfortable.

The focus of my last trip to Montana for seven days of intense EMDR and DBT work helped me realize that I do not give myself the space to exist. In my mind that is disrespecting myself. I need to respect the things I like to do; want to do. Taking up space in the world means that I respect myself; I respect that ""I am allowed""; a phrase that I usually say with a ""not"".

Do you have self-respect? ~ julie

I do not think I have muted my gift of giving; of compassion, understanding, patience and caring. Those gifts have contributed to my vulnerability.

The gift I did give up was my music. I stopped sharing it; sharing it with others; with myself; with God. My harp sat in the corner, seldom touched, but always looked at with the yearning to return. Even today when I see my harp I say, ""Hey, beautiful"".

I have begun to share my gift with myself. It isn't daily, as I woud like. But it is a start. Have you stopped sharing a gift? ~ julie

I remember in each of my relationships when the first sign of disrespect appeared. It wasn't after we were married, rather, it was early; very early in the dating relationship. I can only remember speaking up one time....and that response what just to be patient; things will get better.

When did disrespect first appear for you? ~ julie

All of the bits, bots, and trolls that crawl the Internet I need the malware that keeps me safe. Safe from pedators, from bullies, from those who just want to take and not give.

What is your malware? ~ julie

As a special education professional, I have seen so many families grieve the loss of a dream. The dreams they dreamt for their child. And, one a diagnosis is made, that dream often needs to be grieved; and a new dream created.

Growing means letting go of what was; letting go of the past; letting go of the trauma. We grieve the loss of dreams; of what we thought our relationships would have been. It hurts; I can feel my heart beat stronger; signalling the loss.

Do you feel that pulse? ~ julie

I am a very vulnerable person; or should I say I used to be ""very"". My healing journey is helping me to stop and question; to see if I align with my circumstances. Being a giver and thinking that I can ""fix"" people who do not know they need to be fixed, or even want to be fixed makes me vulnerable. I have a tendency to dive in and help. It is simply what I do.

I have learned....I can still be kind, compassionate, understanding, tender, and caring without being vulnerable. I just need learn the signs when my engagement with others allows others to take advantage of me.

This has been a hard lesson to learn. But, I am learning. One day at a time. ~ julie

For those of you who know trauma and abuse; know the fear, the feeling of uselessness in this world, I believe you will understand my words today.

I say ""yes"" so often. Why? It is too scary not to do so. It is easy for my soul to say yes, than to explain myself. Not just explain myself to others, but literally explain myself to myself. I talk to myself in the third person; I tell myself to do things I do not want to do; I force myself to stay in space I do not want to be. It is almost like a psychological self-harm. I live in the past refusing to reflect on all that is good in my life; where I am now; where I am going.

It was so hard to start Redeem Thyself; to think how I would share my story; to think anyone would listen. And here, 18 months later, so many have you listened; you have shared; to have engaged; you have encouraged; you have followed. Granted, I find myself in this mindset that even with 6000+ followers it is not good enough; I need more to feel valued.

Yet, I finally realized it was time to take another step forward in my healing journey; to find a place for others to heal. So, I launch about 7 months ago. There, I have found solice with others on this long journey of healing. Using music, the arts to find a place of peace, calm, and restoration. Now, just last week, I launched the Redeem Collective. Off the beaten path of social media, it is a place where those who venture find a bit of privacy; to engage; to heal together. Will you join me ~ julie

During my recent therapy work in Montana, we talked about my previous relationships; why do I still care about those who have caused such harm? Why might I want to engage with any of them again...which I do not. But why the pull? Why am I still curious? It is because not everything was bad about that person, that relationship. There are good memories; few and far between maybe. But I did have feelings for these people at somepoint; otherwise I would not have married them.

I can still love them; maybe in a different way. Still care. Still wonder. But that does not mean I need to act. Much like the movie Eat, Love, Pray, I can say I love them and then let them go. They were a part of my life. But they are no longer allowed to be.

It's time to say good-bye to possibilities and remember the lessons learned ~ julie
