What Are the Pitfalls During Transformation

What are all the pitfalls during transformation? What are the hidden or unsuspected difficulties during the journey of transformation?   Have you received a "calling"? If you have, what have you done to make it come into fruition? A lot of people don't understand what I am about to say. When a calling happens, there's resistance. We may be excitement to get started, and, perhaps, we may take some steps.

I was so broken down by growing up in a dysfunctional family filled with mental, emotional, and sexual abuse, and, then later in my teens, I was sexually assaulted twice. After that, I ended up being in a relationship that was violent. I kept thinking that I was the problem. That followed me forever!

Until my son started talking to be about what he was seeing and then telling me that other families weren't like ours, only then did I begin to realize that my way of thinking was completely distorted and I needed to correct it. 

Correcting my way of thinking wasn't easy. I had so much turmoil and chaos inside of me that I had to work through, but, eventually, healing occurred when I made the decision to go on that journey.
