I’m so excited about reading your book and sharing your encouraging story of perseverance to my girls. You’re such an awesome person love! Keep pushing forward Beautiful lady!
just literally "stumbled upon" your background and your story and all your sites and traces in the web - you´re amazingly inspiring! NEVER Give up - live every moment of you life - you so much deserve it!
I Love you ❤ i read your book.. i'm only 13 but i don't have words you are so BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING❤❤ i dance ballett too and i will BE so good Like you ❤ i believe in you 🌌
Beautiful and generous sharing! I am so glad that you are seeing a therapist to help you work through the traumatic memories. Talking to someone about these and working through the pain is a must in order to dissolve and let go of the trauma, and you are taking the right step forward. What I admire about you is your generosity and courage in sharing this with your fans so that they will also pay attention to their emotional well-being. Love ya
Thank you so much for your willingness to share this! It’s a very personal situation and you could have easily chosen not to. Anyone who is so willing to share so much of themselves as you have has earned my respect! Know that this is going to help many others who are struggling with situations too, and that will bring much help and healing!
So proud of the strides you have taken already. Thank you for addressing mental health issues and the trauma you have gone through. If it was not for Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) I would be reliving the nightmares of violent apartheid and its after effects.
So proud of you for sharing about your journeys with trauma and PTSD. It can be daunting enough to experience PTSD, acknowledge its existence and your need for help, and do the painful work necessary to learn new ways to cope with a history of trauma, but using your platform to amplify the importance of reaching out really goes above and beyond. Wishing you all the best on the long and winding roads of personal growth and recovery, in all their forms.
I'm reading your book, I'm so sorry. I never experienced any of this.. so I don't know what to say. your book is beautifully written. it's so sad, yet hopeful. I'm I. the chapter "Loss" love you, it will be ok, you are safe. ❤ pink hearts for Michaela
Hang in there!!!Just discovered you and I am so happy that my little black daughter can watch you and see that even black girls can be excellent ballerinas
You are my role model and the light of my days. Thank you so much for sharing your pain with us at the cost of your health and happiness. I wish I had someone like you to talk to on days when I'm scared - but at least I have these videos to watch over and over again. 🙂
I just came across your story sometimes we have the privilege of being exposed to different people in their life stories and become blessed by getting to know just a tiny piece of someone. I’m glad that I came across you and your story I’m so happy that you were chosen by that family and blessed with the life that you have been given and have had the ability to express your dream and to develop your talent. I have a son who has had trauma in his life that is partly unknown to me and he has had nightmares. So thank you for telling your story about the importance of getting help! And I just wanted to share a scripture from the book of Jeremiah chapter 29 verse 11 there is near and dear to my heart. In addition, I know a little bit about trauma myself being sexually abused as a child and not having my father in my life and being told that he didn’t want any more children. Jeremiah 29 and 11 says, for I know the thoughts and plans I have for you says the Lord, thoughts to give you a future and not to harm you, for you to be successful! Lastly I’m not sure which chapter and verse but it says that your latter days she’ll be better than your former days! And I have lived the Scriptures I am hole today about the practice as a therapist to help other people realize that they can become their dream!
Why is it so difficult to live with what has already happened? Seems like we should be able to just move on, but some how your mind keeps bringing things that happened long ago to the forefront. There must be a reason for this. I think that maybe there's something we need to do. Maybe there's something we need to resolve in order to be able to move on and leave it behind. This idea is worth investigating even if we can't relive it and correct all of the wrong. I think that somehow things can be resolved within ourselves at least enough for us to go on living our lives without the major obstacles that the past can place in our way. You are amazing, even without your dancing accomplishments and always have been. And the little girl inside, who thinks she's nothing, is actually number 1. She just had no idea. She is a fighter. So proud of you! Best to you!
Yes, by re-telling it again and again you keep the memories alive and fresh. They say that telling the story can be even more traumatic than when it originally happened. They give a great explanation for it I just can't vocalize. At four most of the trauma would have subsided but you keep it fresh and alive by re-telling it. You do need to talk about it and vocalize it to a professional will help to fade the pain of such magnitude. You're right it isn't fair. So make a pact to yourself to stop telling it after a certain date. Actually, write your memoir and say to yourself, "After my press junket, I promise that I will not tell this story again. If anyone wants to know about it, I will refer them to my book. Unless and until I want to." Might I recommend a book called, Ageless body, timeless mind."
I hope you can relax :) I hope and pray for you and that you can overcome all things that made you upset and anxious. I am praying for you. I used to dance til I was 25 but gave it up as I did not have great feet or extension and pulled a hamstring when young. You are very amazing. If talking about all of what you went through upsets you then don't talk about it. We get it! It would be too much for anyone. Just feel better dear! A nurse in Michigan.
YOU Are A Beautiful, Glorious, Shining STAR! Having experienced the worst of mankind I know you NOW can really recognize The Best of Mankind! With every applause, every standing ovation may you recognize, KNOW! You are still here, still fierce because of the piercing and THAT SOUL, That Soul is just FINE. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.👍🏿👍🏼👍🏼👏🏽👏👏🏿 💚💚💚
Tomorrow I'm leaving Holland for a holiday, and I packed your book in my hand luggage to read. I'm so glad I watched this video before I go, because it really adds to my vision of you as a humanbeing like everybody else. I knew some things about your past and to be honest, I used to wonder a lot on how you've managed to function so "normal" in society. I thought you were doing good, I kinda assumed it, but at the same time I couldn't imagine because of all you went through. I am really thankful for your honesty, this video is kind off the missing piece for me. Michaela, I wish you all of good things. In a way, I'm really proud to be able to say that one of the persons I look up to, reached out and searched for help from a therapist. Your story inspires me, but also your willingness to cope and your willpower to get out of negative cycles inspires me endlessly. Thank you. ♥️
Thank you so much for discussing your PTSD. Due to my own PTSD, I've suffered from a lot of the symptoms you describe. You reach out to so many people- thank you for feeling courageous enough to share it. It's not something you have to do, and you do it anyway. You're wonderful ❤️
Thank you very much Michaela for your authenticity and for sharing about this tabou🙏This is very inspiring for other orphans to discover how you have been and how you are struggling with it. And just to see you as an human, not an hero, but just someone who can testify. This is very precious. And this is a real honor to meet your path in any way. Thank you for being who you are today and sharing your doubts, your pains, as well as your joy and your grace through dance. With love from France ❤ Yoann
you are such a courageous person! I really hope the therapy will allow you to slowly process these memories so that you will be less haunted by them. Hang in there!
I'm very sad that you had to go through all that you had. I wish your soul to be healed in all levels and I hope G-d will help you in it This is a very important video. Thank you for telling me about this. I'm sure this will help many people.
Hello Michaela Danie here from South Africa i started to following you from 15/01/2023 it is very broken and im happy you are still alive and how far you come im going to call you Michaela Africachild
Wow thank you so much for sharing this- I'm sure you just talking about your struggles is extremely difficult and that in it self is extremely courageous. Hang in there!
I used to have recurring nightmare from my childhood well into adulthood. I finally talked to my Mom about it, she said, "you remember that?" I said, "no it's a dream, not a memory." She then told me it was not a dream, but that it actually happened. For some time afterwards I could not stop shaking, but, I've never had that dream again. To expel the darkness all you need to do is light a candle. Evil lurks in shadows, so shine your light, and they'll disappear like mist in the sun.
Thank you for our honesty and sharing. But please take care of your own health first. You are more than your past sweet girl. And yes, you deserve the help you are getting now. And thank you for letting of us know -- get help when you need it.
I hope you feel better ! And know that these traumas are in the past and it’s done ..... sometimes it’s hard to differentiate between the past and now because it feels like it’s happening now even though the reality is that it’s not. I think that’s the line that’s very hard to keep for people who have ptsd.
I know it hurts you to tell your story but it is truelly changing the world thanks for the sacrifice. You areSo beautiful so empowering so talentented:)!! If I saw this when I was a kid id be a ballerina today! Haha
Personally, I think you've told your story enough. I think it's perfectly reasonable to say to interviewers that you do not want to be asked about your early childhood any more. You are SO much more than the sum of those experiences. Ma HaShem grant you peace and sweet dreams.
Don't know if you belive in the Bible. But you're the Joseph in other people stories. I know its a Traumatic past. Especially at such a tender age. Courage that's your mirrors reflection. Courage brought you this far. I hope now that you made it. Don't let your past destroy your future. The Brain is a record of the Past- Joe Dispenza... He has helped many people overcome that. You are the reason now to create a new Future... Live for the ones who would love to see you soar. Lve. 🙂

I hate you have to go through this. Thanking for sharing this you don't know how helpful it was to know somebody truly understands.
