I think it has also kept me sane because it helped bounce all the pain, all the hurt and pain that I was feeling and the negative energy I was harboring all these years.
Imagine growing up with a trusted family friend who turns out to be your abuser. That's the heart-wrenching reality Joe Braxton faced for over 24 years. In this episode of 'Journey On', Joe opens up to host D.J. Burr about his journey from innocence lost to a newfound strength. Joe, an author and advocate, shares the painful process of realizing and accepting his past, chronicled in his book 'Still Breathing: How to Regain Your Life After Being Robbed'.
His story is raw and real, touching on the complexities of loving someone who has caused so much pain. Joe's candid conversation highlights the importance of owning your healing journey and finding healthy ways to cope. Spirituality and religion play a significant role in Joe's recovery, providing him with meaning and purpose even during his darkest moments. Reporting abuse and seeking justice can be daunting, and Joe shares his own retraumatizing experiences with this process.
Yet, he emphasizes the necessity of speaking out and holding abusers accountable. Music and other therapeutic outlets have been instrumental in Joe's healing. Writing his book was a cathartic release, helping him shed years of negative energy. Joe's story is one of resilience, hope, and acceptance. It's a powerful reminder that healing is possible, even after enduring profound trauma.
