Chapter 2.
Breaking Free from Past Trauma
By Anuri Mabel
🌺 Introduction
“Your trauma may have shaped your past, but it doesn’t have to define your future.”
Many women silently carry the weight of unhealed wounds. Abuse, rejection, betrayal, abandonment—these moments can leave invisible scars on our souls. But here’s the truth: you are not your trauma. You are the warrior who survived it.

💔 Section 1: What Trauma Does to the Soul
Trauma isn't always loud. Sometimes it's the silent battles—the triggers, the anxiety, the inability to trust, the urge to isolate, or the fear of being vulnerable again.
Common effects of trauma:
-
Emotional numbness or hypersensitivity
-
Low self-esteem
-
Overachieving to prove worth
-
Fear of intimacy or abandonment
-
Chronic anxiety or depression
But here’s what trauma can’t do: it can’t erase who you truly are inside. The real you is still there—brave, bold, beautiful.
🧠 Quote:
“Trauma creates change you didn’t choose. Healing is the change you choose.” – Michelle Rosenthal
✨ Section 2: You Are Not What Happened to You
You are not the abuse.
You are not the heartbreak.
You are not the failure.
You are not broken.
What you went through may have left you bruised, but it didn’t break you. And if you're reading this, it means you’re still standing—and that’s power.
Steps to begin the detachment:
-
Name it. What happened to you was real. Don’t minimize it.
-
Feel it. Suppressed pain grows. Felt pain heals.
-
Talk about it. Whether to a counselor, a support group, or God—give it voice.
-
Separate your identity. You are not your experience. You are your response to it.
🕊️ Quote:
“You don’t have to relive it to release it.” – Anuri Mabel
🛠️ Section 3: Healing Is a Journey, Not a Switch
Healing doesn’t always come with a bang. Sometimes it’s a whisper. A quiet step forward. A shaky boundary. A tear that finally falls.
Daily Healing Practices:
-
Journaling your thoughts and triggers
-
Practicing breathwork or meditation
-
Reading empowering scripture or affirmations
-
Taking breaks from toxic people or environments
-
Speaking kindly to yourself every day
💡 Example Affirmation:
“I am safe. I am healing. I am whole.”
🌅 Section 4: Forgiveness – The Doorway to Freedom
Forgiveness isn’t forgetting. It’s choosing peace over bitterness. It’s saying, “You no longer have power over me.”
Whether it’s forgiving others, or yourself—it sets you free.
How to begin forgiving:
-
Acknowledge the pain without justifying the act
-
Accept that the past cannot change
-
Choose release over resentment—daily
-
Pray or meditate for strength beyond your own
🕯️ Quote:
“Forgiveness is not about them. It’s about your peace.”
🚪 Section 5: Reclaiming Your Power
Now that you’ve survived, it’s time to thrive.
Your story doesn’t end in pain. You can rewrite the narrative with purpose, with grace, and with the authority of a woman who knows her power.
Ways to reclaim yourself:
-
Step into new spaces without apology
-
Use your voice—start that podcast, write that book, share your truth
-
Encourage another woman who’s where you used to be
-
Celebrate every scar—they are your beauty marks of resilience
🌻 Reminder:
“You don’t have to be who the pain tried to make you.”
📖 Reflection Prompts
-
What past experiences are still holding power over your thoughts or choices?
-
What have you believed about yourself because of your trauma that is untrue?
-
What would healing look like for you—mentally, emotionally, spiritually?
-
Who or what do you need to forgive to be free?
💬 Affirmation;
“I am not what happened to me. I am who I choose to become. I choose healing, I choose freedom, and I choose joy.”

💫 Final Words from Mabel
Dear sister, I know it hurts. But I also know what’s on the other side of healing: peace, clarity, confidence, freedom.
Don’t be afraid to let go of the pain.' The' you that’s waiting to be discovered is worth it.
It’s time to rise, not in spite of your trauma, but because you’ve overcome it.
This is your chapter of liberation. And it’s just beginning.<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9821534056721365"
