The Ultimate Human Freedom
Changes in our life come disguised as the ultimate human freedom. Why? Because the ultimate human freedom is power to choose, to respond to change and not to remain in overwhelm, frustration and fear. Initially change does not usually appear as feelings of freedom! Based on my past experiences, there have not been too many that initially bring with them feelings of freedom! However, there is one I can recall that was an anonymous gift of money ($4,000) I received, that changed the course of my life. It restored my faith in humanity!

The Spark Remains
Throughout my childhood I received consistent messages that demonstrated the power of a dysfunctional family. The disease of my parents and abusers robbed me of my boundaries and individuality – the right to have a self. Remembering back now, through the years of oppression and sexual abuse, there was a spark that remained, gently flickering inside of me. This spark was the powerful need to become myself.

Hostages of Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse is a life altering experience that impacts on many aspects of your life daily. I liken it to being held hostage with a gun to your head. You spend your days trying to prevent the gun from going off. This may be a graphic description for some; however, if you have experienced sexual abuse you will resonate with this description.

Myth of Silence
Myth of Silence Silence as a survival tool. Generations of children have been sexually abused. It was done to them in secret and they remain silent. Not talking about the painful childhood experiences has been a survival tool. The shame and secrecy that surrounds sexual abuse of children keeps everyone silent. This was not your fault! Getting help and support is an essential and practical way of dealing with childhood sexual abuse. It is not a sign of weakness and failure. Sharing the Pain

Taking Care of You: 54 Ways to Nurture and Self-Care
Learning to take care of yourself is at the very core of your healing process. It’s a way to demonstrate self-love and respect of yourself. No matter how busy you get, making time to care for yourself—mind, body, and spirit—is a must. Neglecting self-care can have negative effects on body, mind, and spirit, leaving us depleted and out of balance. For this reason, it is important to have self-care strategies that address each of these parts of ourselves.

Motherless Daughters Healing The Pain
There is nothing like Mother's Day to remind you of just how much you have lost and how painful that loss is if you are estranged from your mother due to abandonment (disclosing your abuse, mental illness, drug abuse, physical or emotional abuse etc) or loss. When I disclosed my abuse to my mother back in 2001 I then became estranged from her and my family. I was called the “crazy one” and received no validation, support or caring from my mother.

How to get started
G'day!
Yes I am an Aussie. ;) I live in Brisbane, Australia.
I invite you to join receive my F'ree Care Notes. A 20 week e-course for survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
Here you will find a free weekly e-course delivering 52 easy and safe ways to discover the little joys of life as you take the next step toward healing the trauma of childhood sexual abuse.
How do you have joy in your life when you have been abused and betrayed from a very young age?
You need to learn how to give yourself what you did not receive early on.
When you have been sexually abused and betrayed your innocence along with your child like sense of joy is taken away as well. For many survivors the feeling of joy has never been experienced..
My name is Gail O'Keeffe and I too am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse.
I know only too well how foreign it is to hear the word joy, let alone experience it.
Not only did I have to learn what joy was and how to feel it, I needed to learn how to:
• give to myself what I did not receive early on
• to soothe and comfort myself
Not knowing how to do this left me feeling angry, lost and confused. It was like hearing a foreign language for the first time...my eyes rolled back in my head and I felt overwhelmed!
You see, I found myself at the age of 37.....still waiting..... waiting.......and waiting........for my parents to teach me about joy.
I realised the cold, hard face of reality was, that learning about joy, was never going to come from my father who abused me or my mother who was physically present but emotionally absent all of my life because no one taught them about joy either. I was desperate to heal as well as to uncover and experience even a smidgen of joy in my life!
After a relentless search I stumbled upon an amazing truth...............
