Adapting a different way of thinking
Following an emotional season filled with tension throughout the cast, Guerdy Abraira is getting back to a centered place. "I am doing everything for me right now and what makes me feel good," she says of the healing process. "I'm adapting a different way of thinking about things right now. Maybe I'm a little jaded. Yes. But I'm protecting my peace."
Dealing with an 'overwhelming' Season 7
Guerdy Abraira doesn't fully accept Julia Lemigova's apology for throwing water on her at Marysol Patton's wedding celebration. "When someone is saying sorry only for an action that everyone knows is wrong and not for the lie itself that created all of this, that's concerning to me because it's been way too long of a situation that's gone on way too long," she saya. "It's surreal," she adds of the drama throughout the season. "It's really honestly overwhelming at times. But you just try to keep your focus. Watching it back and seeing all the stuff that you didn't know was said behind your back type of thing. It's layered."
The upcoming reunion
With the date of the reunion drawing near, Guerdy Abraira knows what she wants out of the sit-down with her cast members. "I am ready to do a lot of listening, which I hope will then create the reaction I get back. I don't need to explain myself or overly explain myself anymore. … The truth is out there," she says.
Writing her first book
In November, Guerdy Abraira will release her first book,
From Trauma to Trophies. "This book was written one therapy session at a time," she says. "Every time I got off a therapy session, I was writing a new chapter. It was really interesting doing it in sequence with my life with my therapist because writing this book was interconnected with my healing process. So, it was really a journey and the takeaway for me is that I am not the old girlie I used to be at all. I have set up these boundaries that are not for play."
The Real Housewives of Miami airs
Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. Each episode streams the next day on Peacock
