As the founder and creator of HQQH.me, I know what it feels like to live with PTSD every MOMENT of every day. My PTSD stems from being trafficked by my own biological father, to support his gambling and alcohol addiction. After the death of my mother, I was then sold into an arranged marriage to a prepubescent boy. To be groomed by his mother and become the dutiful wife to cook, clean, wash his cl
othes in the river etc etc etc. THIS, is NOT going to be what defines me. After finding out that not every girl got trafficked? To then being sold into an arranged marriage? I was extremely angry. This was the last act as a victim. I KNEW I could choose and make a better future for myself. I decided to choose a new path because I needed to change my destiny. In running, I was no longer a victim. Turns out destiny came in the form of adoption at age 8 into Greene, Maine, where I would spend my formative years being indoctrinated by a narcissist. I suffer from PTSD. For me, trying to control PTSD was about minimizing triggers. When triggered, survival instincts kick in, and my choices were simple: fight, flight, or freeze. I needed a more proactive strategy to manage my symptoms. I wanted to hide what’s going on otherwise people stared, call me difficult, they avoid my character, or treat me differently. It’s taken YEARS to get to where I am today and I can truthfully say that it has been an arduous journey because not ONLY do I have PTSD, I also have high functioning autism. Which make my multispectral tendencies heighten EVERY human emotion. My aYUH-CHA™ teas create a theoretical bubble space for myself against all the SHARP external negative energies. It provides me with the core CONFIDENCE and STRENTH required when I CHOOSE, to INVITE the external negative energies into my bubble space, because;
THAT, is MY sacred space. I have confidence in WHO I am. I have confidence in WHAT I can do. I have the confidence to go WHERE I want to go WHEN I choose to. This is why I CHOOSE to not let PTSD define who I am. aYUH-CHA teas help to raise my self-awareness which has one purpose: to enable me to manage what I see coming so that I can LISTEN differently, so that I may REACT differently and try my best to do so appropriately. Fully protected with self love and with all due respect and TRANQUILITY, I can now resume trying to maintain my 100% HOMEOSTASIS, and begin helping OTHERS. I hope my teas provide you with the strength to REALIZE that;
YOU too are unique,
YOU too are immensely special and I hope that,
YOU too will find internal peace and achieve YOUR full potential in this lifetime. Life is much more enjoyable when one has the CONFIDENCE to enjoy it. My Teas Give Me That, And I Hope That It Will Give YOU Just A LITTLE Bit More Confidence To Do What You Need To Do: RECLAiM What has ALWAYS been YOURS…,
Your Happiness. At the end of the day, we all eat, sleep and p**p, but we also need LOVE. Be kind to one another. Be at peace.
