Healing From Abuse Trauma and Moving On
People experience trauma but they can’t get rid of everything that happened. Only a few affected, can recover from the trauma, but others encounter long-term effects. To this day, a lot of people keep asking the same question, “how does one forget what happened to them or to their loved ones?” Not getting emotional support soon after a traumatic experience can leave one in a bad, disturbing state of emotions. A young and upcoming artist, Katso Belle Modise, found it fit to walk through the doors of CW magazine to share her concept of trying to help victims of abuse and trauma. Belle is a 22-year old lady from Otse.
She is an artist, poet, singer, dancer, and model who focuses on sad stories and portrays the message through art. Her messages are spread through poetry, videos, pictures and modelling. Belle said sometimes this year, she went through a rough patch in her life, leaving her stressed and depressed. She went for counselling, only for her counsellor not to be able to assist her with ways of forgetting the traumatic experience. Belle said the counsellor told her to try to forget what happened; which then aroused the question “how do I forget” as the theme of her concept.
The 22 year old said she is in a process to curb the trauma especially for abuse incidents. She targets abusers and victims as well as those who have lost loved ones due to abuse. Belle believes that people tend to bottle-up painful issues just to save their marriages and relationships.
She therefore came up with this concept to motivate those women and other people to open up about strains they face in their lives.
Currently, Belle is doing her final year in BSC-Mobile Computing at Botho University. She acknowledged her photographer Justice Maverick Hubane, who is willing to work with her using his photography skills with Healing from Abuse Trauma and Moving On no budget.
