False-Self, Wounded-Self, True-Self

Over the course of our sexual abuse, we learned to “just survive”. Make it through another day.  We developed our “False-Self”, wearing the masks of who we want to present to the world. The False-Self wants to maintain the status quo, protect itself, and not have anyone ever see their “True-Self”. 

This False-Self differs from our “Wounded-Self”.  Wounded-Self shows others just a small piece of our abuse to others. This can be with our emotions or actions or our medical illnesses. 

False-Self and Wounded-Self are always battling against each other. We see this as we try to Come Out From Under our abuse and move on to being a Survivor.  But we can overcome this battle.  How? By embracing our “True-Self”. 

Our True-Self is love and goodness created by a “higher power”.  You were born to be loved and to give love & goodness to others.  To be a Survivor we must overcome this battle from within between the False-Self and the Wounded-Self.  Our abuse is in the past and we are safe now; able to claim the victory as a Survivor.  Today, claim your victory. Claim your True-Self.

The storm has passed. See the rainbow?

It’s beautiful. Life is beautiful.

And you are beautiful too.
