The Womb Reclamation Story Pt. 1: Reckoning

It was barely a month before my 24th birthday when the realization that there had been sexual abuse in my childhood. Before that, there had been these weird inklings and sort of crazy dreams once in a blue moon, but nothing ever made sense. When I remembered, it shattered my heart. But above all, it confirmed my intuition: that deep down, somewhere, I had always known something had happened, and I had been right all along about it.

A few weeks later, the opportunity to sign up for a coaching certification (the one I’d had on my vision board but, you know, never actually thought I’d do) came up. I heard really loudly: do the training! and I took a massive leap of faith, followed my intuition, and signed up even though logically, it didn’t really make sense to me.

Learning those tools was one of the reasons why I was able to begin to heal so deeply. Still, the first few months were heavy. I would skip my university economics class to go to the movies on a regular basis. A couple more months went on, and the pandemic hit. Suddenly, I was leaving my tiny university dorm and heading back to the suburbs.

During the pandemic, things got to be more challenging as traumatic memories resurfaced often, and quickly. There was a really long period of time where I didn’t really understand the extend of the trauma which was one of the hardest parts of living through that period of my life.

I was bogged down by this burdensome task of surviving in a season of my life when I should have been focused on thriving. After a couple of years, I felt more confident in my ability to heal myself and use the support available to me at that time.

As the Universe would have it, a great mentor was sent into my life. She really helped to heal our family and guide us to connect with our own energy healing abilities. Plus, she fostered my natural interest in crystals. In that season, there was a lot of listening to my intuition. A lot of going to thrift stores, crystal stores, and spiritual stores to discover energetic remedies for whatever I was dealing with at that moment.

A couple of years later, I had the shock of a lifetime when I had a psychic awakening at 25. (Truthfully, it was the last thing I really expected). Even still, the second it happened, it felt like part of me that should have always been there, was there.

In part 2, I’m going to start sharing more about how my healing was accelerated during my travels. Stay tuned!
