After spiritual abuse, one of the first questions survivors ask is, "How did I end up here?"
If you have found yourself asking a similar question, writing can be an incredible way to discover that answer. In this episode, I speak with Megan Febuary, the author of Brave the Page. She shares how to go back to your earlier life scenes using a trauma-informed approach to fill in the missing pieces that may have drawn you to broken systems or relationships. Megan offers several tips to help you write your truth in a way that is honoring to your body and helpful in your search for healing.
