    • Thanks

      From silentstrength Wednesday

      thank you for your sttrong, honest words. they helped me to consider how i really feel and to stop denying what a lot of me knows. I'm really sorry if I made you frustrated by repeating my feelings. please forgive my inadequate denials and current inability to act on those words and for being unable to get the whole of me to believe that change is not going to happen and that i should move on, whatever it takes.

    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      I'm a survivor of abuse that began in my childhood. Survival was no small feat. I came way too close to ending it. Good thing I didn't. Life is MUCH better now. I took my experience and am trying to make my life from here on out Abuse-FREE. I'm nowhere close to being finished recovering. Just started really. But have gotten far enough along that road to feel that life can be enjoyed, not merely endured. I'm working toward making joy be my default setting.

      Treatments

      Abuse Counseling Somewhat Helpful
      It depends on the counselor. If a therapist really understands the dynamics of abuse, therapy can work.
      Art Working / Worked
      I take dance therapy and am a certified Phototherapist.
      Leave Working / Worked
      Leaving worked for me. Leaving has to be done with great care. People underestimate what an emotional abuser will or won't do.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Depends on the counselor. S/he needs to understand the dynamics of abuse and recovery.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Venting and talking with people who understand HELPS.
