Recovery from trauma does not happen overnight. You may find that healing occurs like peeling away layers of an onion to work on one at a time. The iterative process is painstaking but well worth the effort.
The tendency to pause too long in a particular spot along the way can occur. I found the dedication to the recuperation process exhaustive, sometimes making it easy to stay in one place longer than I should.
When an individual is conditioned to a particular behavior because of repeated abuse, the natural
response is to engage in that practice and let time go by until we are ready to approach learning to live differently.
Don’t get stuck in a rut.
Accepting relationships that are not good because there is a portion that fills a need is one of the
hardest things to grow past. Rather than escaping a toxic association because there is an element of love there keeps you snared. Do not let that stop you from changing the scenario. I find myself less stressed and much happier.
Remember, disengage unhealthy environments sooner rather than later to ultimately lead to a better life!
HE IS FOREVER WITH ME
