Takeaways
Vulnerability and sharing our stories can be nerve-wracking, but it can also lead to healing and empowerment.
Not everyone will be supportive or understanding when we share our experiences, but it's important to focus on the relationships that can be repaired and the boundaries we need to set.
Holding onto faith in the midst of lack of support can be challenging, but maintaining a personal relationship with God and seeking His guidance can help navigate through difficult times.
The impact of abuse and trauma on children is significant, and it's important to provide them with support, counseling, and opportunities for healing.
Brittney's book 'Breaking Free' stands out because of its practical activities for healing and its personal and relatable approach to helping readers find freedom from abuse and trauma.
