A couple of weeks ago, I discovered a testimony in which Joaquina shared her personal experience and the impactful healing process she has lived through. In her account, Joaquina revealed how a traumatic event plunged her into a spiral of self-destruction and fear, profoundly affecting her daily life.
Joaquina confessed that, after the assault she suffered, she found herself in a world of anguish and suffering. She began to turn to alcohol, lost her job, and reached a point where she was completely alone and helpless. It was then that she decided to seek professional help and start therapy that would guide her in her recovery process.
Initially, Joaquina went to a psychiatrist to address her sleep problems, marking the first step in her healing journey. Over time, her mother and father joined her in the therapeutic sessions, working together to rebuild the fractured family system.
Through intense therapeutic sessions, Joaquina managed to confront her deepest fears and traumas, such as the abuse she and her father had suffered in the past. Talking about what happened allowed her to release emotional burdens and rebuild her life from scratch.
Joaquina also highlighted the importance of having the support of close friends during her recovery process. The solidarity and affection of her loved ones were fundamental in helping her not feel alone in her fight against pain and anxiety.
By sharing her story, Joaquina hopes to inspire others to seek help in difficult times. She acknowledges that healing is not a process that can be done in solitude and that assistance from others is often needed to overcome pain and emotional suffering. Her experience is a reminder that every person matters and that there is always a way out of darkness.
Ultimately, Joaquina's testimony invites us to reflect on the importance of mental health, the value of asking for help, and the strength found in family unity and the solidarity of friends in life's most difficult moments.
