I realize this kind of healing will be an ongoing process. Since I have been working on this specific wounding for a while, I feel like I have a little bit of perspective about healing the witch wound. The first step in healing this wound is Acknowledgement. When a person is able to stop gaslighting and minimizing themselves and accept their experience for what it is even though it is uncomfortable and scary, that is the first step in healing. 

It has taken me a long time to stop talking myself out of how I experience the world. Because the way I experience this human experience is often messy, ugly and uncomfortable. I supposed that is why so many people self-sabotage themselves in this kind of healing. Because to heal in this way is to confront a lot of inconvenient truths and shadow parts. To heal in this way is to step into and through uncertainty. To heal in this way is to go through multiple sheddings. To heal in this way is to embrace change.
