Isla Stone Author Self-published South African author, Abuse Recovery Coach, Speaker, CSA Awareness She decided to change her life.

One morning she woke up, bruised and battered caused by the anger that she had towards herself and the world yet again. She had another rough night of drinking uncontrollably and blacked out, forgetting everything that transpired the night before. The decision was based on the fear that she was going to die, she realised that she was committing a slow and painful suicide. Yet there was something i

nside her that wanted to live. She wasn’t sure what this was, or why, but she realised that she did have a little light of hope burning in the centre of hear her that could not be put out. Isla had a difficult childhood, she faced many challenges as she grew up. No one gave her helpful tools to use as she grew up. All she wanted to do was dull and mute the pain that pulsed in every bone of her emotional body. Her biggest challenge was to be intrinsically and fearlessly being honest with herself. This meant that nothing in her world would ever be the same again. Taking that step was the best thing she could ever have done for herself. She is constantly growing and evolving into a more spectacular version of herself daily. The growing never stops, and this is what the adventure of life, she realises, is truly about. She currently runs her own holistic healing practice focussed on Counselling, Abuse Recovery Coaching, Spiritual practice and a content creator.

Survivors of or Child Sexual Abuse experience Guilt and Shame. These are just two of the long list of effects that CSA survivors experience. Very often they blame themselves and might do so even when they don't realise they are doing it. You are not alone.

Antidote series How do I manage my anger? Boxercise is a great tool to improve your mood, to manage pain and to feel good. Rigorous exercise releases a neurotransmitter called anandamide. It is also called the bliss molecule and it plays a crucial role in our Endocannabanoid system. Boxerciseis a natural way to anger reduction. #mentalhealth #csaawareness #instadaily

Day 17 of telling your Child Sexual Abuse recovery stories. Story 7 Joni Sexually abused by her Cousin at 8 years old, Joni feared that her mom would judge her, as a child being more worried about what her mom would think about her than seeing or understanding the event as an abuse.
