Emergence
Definition of emergence: The process of exposing or unveiling that which was concealed.
Abuse is something that is often concealed from others, whether it is society or friends, families or co-workers. It is also often hidden from ourselves. I expose the commonality of abuse, taking away the shame from both survivor and society. I talk about prevention and provide education so women and teens can emerge from abuse.
Emergence is also about you! You coming into your own light and power. Having a safe place to speak, be listened to and acknowledged for your pain. It takes time to emerge from the after effects of abuse. We support you!

A letter from Alicia Thriver to women who are experiencing their own inner awakening and emerging from abuse,
Dear beloveds,
Emerging from abuse is a spiritual process with yourself. You are learning to listen to your own hidden calling and step into trusting yourself, your intuition, and your wants & needs. You are learning to reclaim yourself and create new connections mentally and emotionally. Give yourself time, allow for space to learn and grow. Above all else love yourself deeply, and know you are worthy. Remember to keep peeling back the layers of your experience. Use your voice to help free you.
I see you, I hear you, I believe you, I support you.
Love,
Alicia Thriver
