Sherrie Campbell PhD – Acceptance

Healing from toxic family abuse is possible. Being healed may not be possible, but consistently healing is. To be in the consistent journey of healing, takes acceptance.

Healing is depressing and impossible when we resist accepting the reality of who our family members are. Instead using our over-active denial system to justify their poor treatment of us, we must replace our denial with radical acceptance.

Radical acceptance means understanding that we can’t think our family members into being different, love them into being different, or want them into being different.Living life in a true state of peace and freedom comes from accepting our reality, as it is, and choosing not to stay stuck looking backward, but focusing our life forward. When we go forward, we must hold the mindset to care deeply for ourselves, to have fun, smile and add meaning into our lives.

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
