Transformational Journaling Transformed my Life
|
|
Hello, I’m Debra Wingfield and I am an incest survivor...As an adult, I turned my experience into an opportunity to help others as I was helped to heal. The primary tool that helped me heal was Transformational Journaling. Transformational Journaling was the key to recovering my soul from being sexually abused by my father. I want to tell you how I found out about Transformational Journaling and what it did for me.
Of course, the first thing I learned was I couldn't stop him from drinking.The only thing I could do was look at the choices I was making in my life. As I worked the 12-steps, it quickly became apparent to my sponsor and other people in the group that I had issues unrelated to the alcoholism. I shared with my sponsor about the sexual abuse in my childhood and she encouraged me to use the 12-steps to heal. The more I wrote using the 12-steps as a guide, the more I realized I needed additional information. By this time I was separated from my second husband. I listened to various teachers about codependency and dysfunctional families. I devoured books written by authors on these subjects. The more I learned, the more I wrote in my journal. As I drew from various authors guidelines for what I needed to address, I slowly transformed myself from being a victim to being a survivor of sexual abuse/incest. Eventually, I re-created my life. As a trained counselor, I realized there were many abuse survivors who were looking for the same kind of help that I discovered. I decided to take everything I learned to help myself and develop a program for abuse survivors and other people from dysfunctional family systems. I started my program in 1988 and attracted many survivors and codependents. I shared the Transformational Journaling techniques I used with my clients.
