The Beaten Heart

We can be victimize but ultimately we are not victims--There is always something to learn and grow from despite the pain and issues.  When we are in the middle of the fire, we are burning and we cannot see anything else.  We cannot see those who love us on one side of the fire and we cannot see the ones who have tortured us in one way or another on the other side of the fire.  Yet, we suffer in the fire because we all react to trauma and the beaten heart in our own unique way while in the fire.

Dr.  R-------------It is not our fault---that is the wounded child taking blame for something we had no control over ---at the time because we were where we were.
