He even gave me the nickname \u2018Gonzo\u2019 after the muppet with the extremely large nose. I don\u2019t remember being called anything else throughout that entire 10-year period.<\/p>\n<p>Although we left that \u2018home\u2019 when I was 12, puberty was already setting in. I had begun breast development a year earlier, and I started my period just 2 weeks shy of my twelfth birthday. The body that I was made to feel shame about as a child was changing.<\/p>\n<p>I was not excited for this change, because it wasn\u2019t just psychological abuse I endured for those 10-years. When I was 9, I awoke in the night to find him kneeling beside my bed, flashlight pointed at my groin and my pyjama bottoms around my ankles. I have no idea if this was the first time, or just the first time I awoke.<\/p>\n<p>I was a sexual being, and a punching bag, both physically and emotionally. Despite leaving him, my changing body, and how it naturally attracted the attention of the boys around me, instilled this notion that I was only good for one thing \u2013 sex.<\/p>\n<p>I tried to wear the cool fashion styles, without showing off my body. I tried showing off my body and being proud of how I looked. Neither worked. Neither instilled a single grain of self-confidence in me.<\/p>\n<p>Not only were the fleeting glances of boys, and men, reinforcing this notion that I was only good for one thing, but my experiences were reinforcing the negative mantra I had on replay in my mind: I\u2019m stupid, ugly, useless, worthless, nobody will ever love me, and I\u2019ll never amount to anything. I was continuing the mantra that he started all those years early; every single day and it was eating me alive.<\/p>\n<p>Anytime anything good happened, I would convince myself that it wouldn\u2019t last long, because I was too stupid and ugly. Anytime anything bad happened, I knew it was because I was stupid and ugly.<\/p>\n<p>Although it had been years since I heard him utter those words, never mind \u2018Gonzo\u2019, that\u2019s who I saw every time I looked in the mirror.<\/p>\n<p>It caused me to want to destroy my body so I would stop being seen as a sexual object.<\/p>\n<p>It caused me to want to destroy myself so the pain would end.<\/p>\n<p>Until one day, in my very early twenties, it hit me. I was choosing this. While I had absolutely no control over what happened to me then, making me a classic victim, I was keeping myself in this victim mentality by choosing to react to my life in this way.<\/p>\n<p>I was free. I was free from the abuse, suffering, pain, and judgement he bestowed upon me, but I wasn\u2019t free from myself.<\/p>\n<p>In that moment, I realised that if I ever wanted to truly be free of him, I had to let go of my own victimisation. I had to own my life and my decision to continue his psychological abuse.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5976 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak2-1200x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5976 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak2-1200x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak2-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak2-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak2-470x470.jpg 470w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak2-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak2-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak2-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak2-912x912.jpg 912w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak2-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak2-1104x1104.jpg 1104w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak2-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak2-1472x1472.jpg 1472w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak2.jpg 1667w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Immediately I worked on changing that mantra. I started to look very seriously at each of the thoughts and find the evidence either for or against each.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>I\u2019m ugly.<\/strong> Nope. As I looked in the mirror, of course, I saw lots of things I\u2019d like to change about myself, but I knew I wasn\u2019t ugly. Let\u2019s take my \u2018Gonzo\u2019 nickname. I didn\u2019t have a large nose at all. It was normal size. Check!<\/li>\n<li><strong>I\u2019m stupid.<\/strong> Hell no. I managed to graduate from secondary school with a decent grade point average, without even trying. I was so busy with after school and other activities that homework was at the bottom of my list. I also went to College, and did really well with all kinds of subjects I had never even glanced at before. And at the time of this self-reflection, I was putting myself through private school to become a Registered Massage Therapist (in Canada, that is the equivalent of a Physiotherapist in the UK), and I had a 92% grade point average. Double check!<\/li>\n<li><strong>I\u2019m useless.<\/strong> This one took a little more soul searching. I didn\u2019t think I had done anything in my life, up to that point, that made me useful. However, I was training to help people through massage therapy, so that had great use. And the fact that I wanted to help others showed what a caring person I was. Triple check!<\/li>\n<li><strong>I\u2019m worthless.<\/strong> This one was much simpler, with all the work I had done on the others. Of course I had worth. I started to really look around at the people in my life to see how I may have positively affected their lives. It wasn\u2019t just about thinking, \u2018Would it even matter if I was gone?\u2019, but \u2018Would it matter if I had never been?\u2019 The answer was an astounding \u2018YES!\u2019 I realised that just how others had a tremendous impact on my life, I too had impacted others. And by choosing a profession that helped others, I had no doubt that I would positively impact many, many more people during my life. Quadruple check!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As soon as I really started to see my impact, acknowledge my usefulness, my intelligence, and my beauty, I saw my value as clear as day, and I laughed.<\/p>\n<p>I laughed at all the turmoil I had put myself through, thinking and feeling so out of control, when the truth was, I had all the control.<\/p>\n<p>Acknowledging and accepting my control changed everything. It allowed me to fall in love with myself. It gave me my power back.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5977 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak3-1200x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5977 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak3-1200x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak3-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak3-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak3-470x470.jpg 470w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak3-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak3-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak3-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak3-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak3-912x912.jpg 912w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak3-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak3-1104x1104.jpg 1104w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak3-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak3-1472x1472.jpg 1472w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/WOWB-mybeautyjourney-Lisa-Cybaniak3.jpg 1667w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t always look in the mirror and think I\u2019m beautiful.
