If a family is very dysfunctional, physical, and mental abuse can leave scars. Inner Child Healing is a good way to help yourself heal. Many adults that are wounded children suffer from alcoholism, drug addiction, anxiety disorder, and depression. Some may present with issues of control due to abandonment issues.

Soul Journey by Michele Marchese So what exactly is a soul journey? The simplest definition would be your journey through life, the day to day grind. The true soul journey is everything that hits you at a core level, something that shakes you and awakes you. Unfortunately as we go through these times in our lives we most often feel broken, sad, and like things will never get better.

Feel the darkness until you see the light, (it’s okay you won’t break)....
