I work on healing my self-esteem. For example, now it is easier to face the flashbacks of my abusers because I managed to improve my self-esteem. I had to face and accept the horrors of my childhood and understand they were older and stronger than I was. It was impossible for me to have turned out any differently than I did.

Accepting what was done to me got me past that wounded part of myself.

Am I answering this correctly? I had to face my upbringing, it was the only way to get past it. And, you want to know the coolest part of all of that? Once I got through the pain, I began to feel happier and slowly, it became easier for me to decide solutions for myself. I didn't fly into a panic every time a big problem appeared. I began to sit down and figure out what I could do.

I hope this helps.
