Most trauma survivors have been heavily threatened to not tell and have been well-trained to comply with absolute silence. However, your voice is very powerful, and talking about the abuse is absolutely one of the most important aspects of healing. Each person’s voice is uniquely designed to literally help that person heal. Using your voice through song, singing about the trauma, and learning the freedom of vocal expression are important elements to overcoming the effects of abuse and trauma. Hearing your own voice is truly a very powerful part of your healing.
