Healing Is The Goal

Hello! Welcome to Healing is the Goal! My name is Kia and this is my blog. I'm a survivor on a journey to heal present and past trauma and wounds- some that extend as far back as my childhood. I've survived abandonment, physical and sexual abuse, and sexual assault. I have always been unhealthily motivated by success, but in my desperation to prove my worth through my achievements, my wounds went unchecked, unacknowledged, and unhealed. For the past two decades this suppressed trauma has been surfacing as unhealthy patterns, low self-esteem, depression, and self-limiting beliefs in my life. In 2023 after the most debilitating episode of depression I had ever experienced, I decided I could continue to wear a mask for the world while being pitiful inside or I could face my demons and become the powerful version of myself that God intended me to be. I asked God to pull me out of hell before I lost everything.  When He picked me up, I dedicated myself to doing the work to heal my heart and change my life. Healing is the goal!
