How Do We Develop Courage?

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you may remember I wrote a blog post a few weeks ago about the 7 steps most child abuse survivors must take in order to heal.  

I received a wonderful response to it from several of you.  Thanks!  If you haven’t had a chance to read it yet, here’s the link:

In this blog post, I’d like to discuss the second of these 7 steps: Develop Courage.  As you know, we don’t start out on our healing journey feeling courageous.  In the beginning, courage is the last thing we feel.  We’re uncertain of the path, the process, and the outcome.  
That’s a completely normal response.  Fortunately, your willingness to heal will eventually develop into courage with each healthy risk you take on your journey.

The reason we don’t feel courageous is because change is hard for survivors of child abuse.  Thankfully, we’re not defenseless kids anymore.  We’re adults.  Now we’re the ones with all the power.  We can make the choice to heal.  We can be willing to change.  We can take small steps forward every day on our healing journey.  We can use purposeful intent to work each of these 7 steps.  

Yes, we’ll probably have to remind ourselves every day of our commitment to heal.  I know I did!  But that daily reminder is what keeps us going.

Today, I want you to realize you’re already a courageous person.  You may not feel that way, I know.  But it takes tremendous courage to begin your healing journey.  And you did that.  

Now you need to wake up every morning, willing to do what it takes that day to heal.  Do this every morning, and one day you’ll blossom into a capable, courageous, loving human being.

When it happens, that will be a very special day.  It’ll be the day you rediscover your authentic self.  How exciting!
                                                       ********
