My story, Your story,Our story.
The Doctor said to me. "you are not alone, there are a ton of victims of sexual assault. There has been a lot of treatment created to help you through this process." I never understood why me not being alone was important, when I have felt alone for years. The programs and systems that were in place and that are in place were not for me. Why? because like bruises we all heal in different stages and you are never cured, you learn to live the best new. life you can after someone else decided to change the course of yours
MY STORY
From the time I was about six or seven year of age, the man that was suppose to protect me used me as his personal side piece. I was then raped during my time in the military more than once. My process of living this new life has been tough. While writing my autobiography, I was inspired by something that God and I put down on paper. There begin the journey of the tool called Bruised.
YOUR STORY
Sexual Assault whether it is verbal, physical or emotional, your truth and my truth nor experience are not the same. So in some aspect we are alone. Sympathy and Empathy are given once our silence is broken.
OUR STORY
We have all handled our circumstances differently. I no longer want to be alone nor do I want you to. So please add your stories or gather a group of family or friends and lets heal.
Our Practice
Bruised Healing USA is an information sharing tool to assist sexual assault victims in first UNDERSTANDING SEXUAL ASSAULT as well as assistance in knowing where they are in healing and how to communicate this to others. While advocating and providing other resources that are available.
HEALING & BRUISED
Being a survivor of sexual assault makes us inventors, creators problem solvers and unique. The lives we lead are invented and created by us. although we struggle and solve different problems at every stage of our lives. We are unique because our stories make us that way,
