Review for Saprea, Lehi, UT, USA
I knew that the Haven Retreat was going to be life changing but never realized how much! I never realized how much of my life was consumed in negativity until I was there. Because of all the trauma in my life I felt like I always had to have a hard exterior and never let my emotions show. With the help of the therapists and my warrior sisters, they taught me it's ok to let go and let the tears flow when needed. I was taught different tools and coping mechanisms to get through the tough times. For this I will be forever grateful! I am learning to find myself and put my feelings first for once instead of holding back in order to protect everyone else's feelings. By doing this I have become a better friend and support for others because if I'm not happy I can't help others. I've made it part of my life mission to share my story instead of hiding with shame so that I can help other women that have been sexually abused.
