We don’t stop being our parent’s children when we turn 18. In the U.S., 18 may be the age of consent and when people are legally recognized as adults, but that does not mean that the influence of their parents suddenly disappears.  From birth, a child loves their parent unconditionally. At the very least, the parent is the first a child depends on to learn and navigate the world. Sure, your parent is no longer responsible for you legally; you can be tried for a crime as an adult, and the world treats you as such. But that doesn’t mean that parental influence no longer affects you.  Our current understanding of a person’s response to a traumatic experience (i.e., fight, flight, or freeze) doesn’t work the same when it comes to their parent. The prefrontal cortex of a human isn’t fully developed until 25 years old. So it’s unreasonable to think that once a child turns 18, the beliefs, behaviors, and conditioning (traumatic or otherwise) that their parents instilled in them no longer apply.  Part of why I share the traumatic details of my life is to highlight the impacts of long-term mental manipulation and abuse. People often question how my father was still abusing me into adulthood, and they hold me accountable.  Combined with traumatic experiences as reinforcement of dictated beliefs, a parent has the power to destroy the adulthood of their child. Thousands of people have the sacred responsibility of forming a human; instead, they exploit them in the worst way.  My content shines light on issues that negatively affect many people. And I believe the community I’ve built on my platforms will help find solutions.  #fitcheck  Dress - @houseofcb  Earrings - @cultgaia  Shoes - @louboutinworld  Purse - @coperni  Blazer - @normakamali  #HealingJourney #unashamed1 #traumamastery #traumarecovery #childhood #throughthelookingglass #mirrormirror #happyholidays #OOTD #holidaypartyoutfit #grwm

I often discuss my mother in my live streams. However, I’ll post a series of videos over the next few days that answer some of the questions I receive about my mother and her knowledge about what my father was doing to me, our relationship today, and why she wasn’t prosecuted alongside my father.  Let me know your thoughts. #HealingJourney #unashamed1 #unashamed #itsoktotell #notalone #qanda #livestream
Clearly everyone can’t be lawyers, but it’s extremely beneficial for the general public to have some understanding of the law, justice system and the judicial process.  If a survivor decides to report the abuse, the process can often be re-traumatizing because we make basic assumptions about what happens to people who commit crimes. There is so much gray area in law, and the room left for interpretation is intentional.  I research and speak on these topics as much as I can to offer clarification and alleviate any surprises for reporting survivors of abuse.  I hope this helps. #unashamed1 #HealingJourney #notalone #itsoktotell #howtoreport #survivor #fyp
My parents may be the cause of my trauma, but I’m responsible for my healing.  #unashamed1 #changeisntmadeincomfortzones #HealingJourney #survivor #questionsandanswers #itsoktotell #fyp
I am living proof of the healing power of dance. Even though my father tried to use it against me by often making me dance for him before he abused me, that didn’t stop me from enjoying the freedom I felt when I danced alone or with my siblings.  If you want to learn more through the scientific studies of some psychologists I respect and admire, check out some of the books below. And next time you get a chance, turn on some music and let the rhythm take over. 1. “The Body Keeps the Score” by Bessel van der Kolk, MD (2014) - This book discusses the impact of trauma on the body and mind, and how movement and dance can be used for healing. 2. “Dance Movement Therapy: A Guide for Practitioners and Educators” by Christina Devereaux (2018) - This book explores the use of dance movement therapy for various populations, including survivors of trauma. 3. “Trauma-Informed Yoga and Dance” by Lisa Danylchuk and Ezra Stiles (2020) - This article discusses the benefits of trauma-informed yoga and dance for survivors of trauma. 4. “The Impact of Dance on Mental Health” by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) - This article highlights the benefits of dance for mental health, including reduced stress and anxiety. 5. “Dance Therapy for Survivors of Trauma” by the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) - This article discusses the benefits of dance therapy for survivors of trauma, including improved mood and reduced symptoms of PTSD. #dancepsychology #HealingJourney #unashamed1 #healing #fyp
