The most confusing thing about domestic violence and abuse is the fact that we find ourselves loving people who hurt us. Oftentimes, we can’t even see how destructive our relationships are until it’s too late.
The physical, emotional and spiritual implications of domestic violence and abuse are rarely understood by someone unless they have experienced it. Police, courts and support workers can help you in the early stages when seeking safety and advice, but they do not understand the long-term emotional, physical and financial impacts of domestic violence and how to completely heal from it.
Victims of domestic violence and abuse experience PTSD/CPTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder/complex post-traumatic stress disorder, similar to soldiers returning from war. But unlike soldiers, our battle can last for decades and leave us in a constant state of fight-or-flight, our health impacted by adrenal fatigue and burnout, and emotionally distressed while our children continue to visit the abusive former partner. Our battles never seem to end.
Broadly speaking, abuse is all about power and control. As victims of abuse it is vital to not remain victims. Therefore, the more control and power you have over yourself, the less someone else has over you. Recovering from abuse is all about self-empowerment, self-love, valuing the self and learning how to calm emotions and heal CPTSD.
The secret to healing the trauma from abuse is to develop a strong and healthy relationship to self.
