A Writing Exercise for Overcoming Any Challenge

Feeling Stuck, Controlled or Powerless?

As abuse survivors, we can get stuck in limited thinking. We learned very early to (consciously or unconsciously) choose from very limited options available to us so we could survive. That did three things:

1. Taught us to rely on limited coping methods or strategies that may no longer serve us

2. Engrained in us that we are powerless or have very limited power

3. Put our focus on survival, which is a limiting focus

This is a short and simple writing exercise that opens your mind to new possibilities by bypassing the patterns your brain is used to and tapping into your creativity and resourcefulness.
