And this is where the real trouble begins, but be aware. It doesn't end with abstinence. The same mind that led the addict into addiction remains in place. This is why so many find success when they surrender their life over to a HP's will.

The reason is blatantly obvious but most people don't see it. They're trying to discredit the source. For people that have suffered abuse the injury is compounded when we're the ones being doubted.

No matter which of these two scripts a person adapts as they enter adulthood, their experience allows for them to quickly shift from one role to the other for brief periods, usually when their partners have chosen a specific role.

It will take time to change because they're scars and scars remain. They're not gone, just forgotten about for periods of time. They will pop up again in down or low moments, or real problems present.

It's not normal, it's not right and remaining invested in a system that fails in this way is not only unhealthy it becomes emotionally toxic as these behaviors become the culture.

Ultimately this is an exercise in letting go; perhaps the most valuable one of our lifetime.

What we were really doing was filling each other’s’ empty spaces and that was intoxicating. My holes formed because of my childhood experiences and trauma. #healingjourney #emotionalhealing #emotionalintelligence #traumahealing #abusesurvivor #neglected

It would be nice if it were that simple, if our hormones, fears and desires didn't get in the way!!!

If they are in our way we don’t have to separate from them completely. We just need to reduce their credibility when it comes to the choices we make moving forward. When someone says something negative or hurtful we have a choice to either dism

Our power is Grace. Sometimes that Grace is something we give ourselves. Having the power to not carry the weight of others misdeeds is a power that should not go untapped. It is one the most beautiful ways we having of caring for ourselve

Some New Years resolution seedlings. Sounds easy. The trick is not trying to be somebody else. (Ditch the influencers.)

We might want to start doing this emotional workout now, before the holidays really start.

The bigger the act, the more Graceful I can be, the more healed I begin to feel. It's like having proof I'm getting better.

That is just one of the illusions created by abuse. The notion that somehow because something bad happened to us and since we weren't protected, that we must not be as valuable as those that don’t experience serious adversity.

Having people around that instill doubt will make motivating ourselves more difficult. Having motivators? A blessing!
FIND SOME!!!

The most common factors limiting our ability to do this are; bitterness, resentment and our longing for a type of justice that rarely manifests. #healing #healing #neglected #neglect #traumahealing #abusehealing

Perhaps the most exaggerated, overused and misused term in modern society is the word Narcissist. Everyone that does us wrong or hurts is not one.

Sad but true!! I'm sorry you had to go through that, but you did just that, you got through it!!! That's because you are stronger than most people can ever imagine having to be.

Healing and growth has more aspects than we think. Our anger and unhappiness do to!

Sometimes this is as simple as speaking the truth or just saying no. Other times is as hard ending relationships and careers.

Sometimes this is as simple as speaking the truth or just saying no. Other times is as hard ending relationships and careers. Our past, our desire to be generous and even our desire to love has often forced us to remain with people and in places that were in conflict with our true selves. THAT ENDS NOW!!!! #TrueSelf #truth #boundaries #healing #healingjourney #traumarecovery #abuserecovery #neglected #abandoned neglecteddamagedgraced.com

I really wish that this worked; I just haven’t seen it happen. Our best bet is to let go of the possibility that they’ll ever show up to meet our needs. #emotionalintelligence #emotionalhealing
