BREAKING THE CYCLE

"Refuse to inherit dysfunction. Learn new ways of living rather than repeating what you lived." Thema Davis

If you were judged, practice curiosity and mindfulness to reframe thoughts

If you were rejected, choose acceptance and inclusivity

If you were isolated, embrace community, join a small group or team sport

If you were misled, choose transparency and set personal boundaries

If you were embarrassed, choose to show compassion

If you were blamed, practice forgiving what you can't forget

If you were broken, choose healing and connect with a professional counselor

If you were harassed, choose to encourage and validate

If you were dismissed, recruit or create a support group

If you were silenced, be brave enough to speak out

If you were shamed, be unapologetically authentic

If you were humiliated, choose to courageously stand out

If you were threatened, be a safe harbor for others

If you were marginalized, dare to promote change

If you were hurt, show kindness, sympathy and love

If you survived, become someone else's endurance guide

BE THE PERSON WHO BREAKS THE CYCLE.
