Finding my voice

[ninjaqueen]

Hello,

I have recently begun the painful process of processing what happened to me, though it was quite some time ago.

As part of this, I realise that I lost my voice and that I'm no longer OK with that. I hope that my joining this forum, I can start to define a new voice for myself.

Thanks

Hi Veganicecream,

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry for the trauma that has brought you here. This is a good place to start processing, it doesn't matter how long it has been, as our members will understand. It is not easy when you lose your voice, but I am glad you are looking to define it again. Take your time and look around and when you feel ready, feel free to interact. I wish you the very best as you begin this path in healing.
