When the Fairytale Ends: The Journey to Overcome Abuse

By Marisa Russo

When you think about abuse, do you think of someone being slapped? Or punched? I did too until I found myself in a toxic marriage in which I was emotionally, verbally, mentally, and financially abused. I did not even know I was being abused until I was taken out of the situation and started seeing a therapist. This is my story of how the abuse changed my life, of how I had to fight to rebuild my life. I want to educate others to know that abuse is not just physical""to know that you can be "beaten down" with words, with threats. You are not alone, and there is hope for a new beginning. I hope to inspire other women. I look back at my journey and know that God was with me the entire time. I wanted to give up, to not go on anymore, but God gave me a purpose, and it was through that pain that I reached my purpose""to be a light in someone else's pain.

MARISA RUSSO For many years I traveled the globe, desperate to overcome and escape the chronic pain, fatigue, addictions and illnesses that resulted from years of emotional, physical and sexual abuse as a child. I grew up feeling worthless and alone. A raft of addictions masked my pain. I was totally dysfunctional. My body and emotions were riddled with so much suffering that life seemed futile and death a welcoming option. The unrelenting pain led me to seek alternative therapy only because traditional doctors said I would have to live with the pain for the rest of my life—a dire prophecy that I wasn’t about to accept! It was decades of detoxification, studying many therapies and working with alternative therapists that prepared my body to finally expunge the trauma that was held deep in every cell of my body. Difficult times taught me truths about myself that I would not have pursued. I was pushed to make different choices and open my mind to a new way of thinking. I admit now that my challenging journey was a blessing—I was forced to consider options that were foreign to me—to heal myself and my relationships with others. I didn't always want to be an alternative therapist. In fact, I wasn't sure I'd amount to anything. I was 40 before I had the first, genuine liberating thought that I might actually have something to contribute to the world! In my search for optimal health, I was a reluctant student. In fact, I stumbled into my life changing mission. I discovered healing secrets. These secrets initiated my career as an alternative therapist and was guided to create the award-winning Forensic Healing System which is one of the most powerful healing systems in the world. My journey and working with thousands of women has led me to show you how to break through the negative impact of sexual, physical, emotional abuse and self-worth issues. I offer a new life filled with hope, freedom and transformation for women who choose to entrust their journey to me.
