AS I AM:: A Reflection of How Words You Heard as a Child are Attempting to Define Who You are as an Adult

This book is designed to assist people who have suffered some type of childhood abuse with confronting the words that continue to taunt them. Being told that you are no good, trash, not fit for anything, just like your no good momma or daddy etc..., may create a level of confidence aligned with what you have heard. Often the damaging words that you have heard become embedded into your psyche and you may subconsciously (without knowing) add these adjectives to your personal description of who or what you are and what you can become. It creates an internal song that often plays when you already feel defeated and hopeless. Words can really define and shape character in a way that will cause any person to doubt and/or sabotage themselves or to live beneath their privilege(s) in order to make those descriptive words true. This book promotes healing from the past events that have traumatized your existence by helping you take a series of Therapeutic Action Steps to help you "Recall (not re-live), Confront (words that you heard at an early age that have become your definition of yourself) and Transform (to make opposite of what you heard)" by empowering you to reconcile with your past and embrace your promising future. It is a fact, that some people will define themselves based on what has been done or said to them. Some will grow to define themselves by what their circumstances or life events have been. However, is that really your core or innate design? Someone's opinion of you is not your reality. Learn how to cope with your current situations by approaching life from an "Informing My Trauma" stance that will permit you to start challenging and re-evaluating those negative words and themes that use to describe you. Is the image in the mirror really reflective of you or does it mirror what someone needed you to be to make themselves look better. This book will help you look at your past self and embrace your purposeful (who you were designed to be) self in order to walk into your destiny. Life will always show up to give you something rather good or bad, but you don't have to commit "emotional suicide". Learn how to live and work with the hand that life deals you.
