The K.N.O.W. Show with Rev Robert J V McMillan and guest Laura Cullen

February is LOVE month, and in appreciating and recognizing the Divine Feminine, The Know Show, with host, Rev. Robert J.V. McMillan, is pleased to present four powerful women who will aid us in discovering ‘Our Own Inner Child’ – via the ICLP method; and then, how to, “TAP’ through EFT, our way into a space and place of love, peace, joy, understanding, and contentment; and finally, how to “Heal Ourselves” physically, mentally, and emotionally by throwing ourselves passionately into our work with the intent of achieving our goals, establishing boundaries, and setting realistic goals for ourselves and those within our ‘Circle of Influence!’

I am finally ready to share my story to help others. I experienced 2 major traumas when I was put in a psych hospital when I was 17—I was given a label and abused by a worker there. In some ways I can now see this as a gift as it put me on a healing journey but it took hard work and many years to reach this point. Prior to this experience I was an all-around athlete and high honor student with a bright future ahead of me. These traumas however altered my future—perhaps for the better but that is a hard statement to swallow when I think about what I went through to get to this point.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a big part of my story. The worker who hurt me obviously was wounded and while he genuinely wanted to help, he could not due to his issues and his drug and alcohol abuse. He grabbed hold of my mind in a way I didn’t understand and told me no one would ever love me and abused me physically, mentally and sexually for several years. As a result I experienced PTSD flashbacks and severe depressions. I have since found a way to forgive him; it was harder to let go of the label and the stigmas. I once was a victim, I no longer am. I learned that at some point, we have to take responsibility for our healing.
