UNCOVER IN THESE PAGES…

The ten steps to overcoming abuse.

Pinpoint the relationship as abusive through determining if it is physical, emotional, sexual abuse,
or a combination of the three.
Overcome love that may still linger, which is normal; however, you don’t have to dwell on this. It is not a healthy relationship and moving on the what is best for you.
Pulling through grief and intense sadness is something you may experience after you let go of someone you had shared your hopes and dreams. If this is overwhelming, we will discuss ways to overcome that.
Emotional reactions such as anger and guilt may come over you. Hyper-vigilance is a trait one develops in an abusive relationship, and you may have many emotions and wounds and that need to be addressed.
Other individuals may be in your life now that you have significant relationships, but not everyone may be supportive. Some may diminish the abuse or even blame you.
These are practical considerations to look at: your children, finances, and divorce. There is no real quick solution. Often professional ones are a good choice.
Rebuild your potential by finding your sense of self again through reconnecting with your talents, strengths, abilities, and skills, as well as realigning with your values and goals in life.
Resist returning to the relationship even if you wish to return to the abuser. If you do return to the relationship, you must be strong enough to walk away after the first sign of abuse.
Maintaining communication is vital if you have children with the abuser and taking steps to manage this person in your life with a third person. This keeps things short which is important. Remember documentation and record
keeping are keys.
Be open to love again even if life has left you feeling raw. A mental health professional can help you move forward in understanding that not everyone is hurtful and you can move on and live a happy and fulfilling life.
