Today I wanted to share three things to consider when healing from an abusive relationship.
It takes time
At least 2 years of consistent therapy to work on any symptoms of CPTSD and on any personal issues that may be present.
During the first year you have to see positive changes and you should start to feel better. If not, consider talking about this with your therapist or maybe try to find a different therapist that can resonate better with you.
No Contact is King 🤴
Maintaining no contact is a measure of personal protection.
It doesn't mean that you are angry, you are disrespectful, or that you are taking revenge against the toxic person. It means that you love yourself enough to set this boundary and protect yourself from an abusive person.
If you can't go full no contact, minimize communications via e-mail.
Self-Care is Queen 👸 :)
You have been through A LOT.
You are currently fragile emotionally and physically.
Use the power of self love to boost your healing progress.
It's essential that you eat good foods, exercise lightly regularly (yoga is awesome for the traumatized brain) and sleep well.
