Experiencing Intense Emotions Is Normal. You Are Not Alone.
Victims often feel a degree of shame or fear when they experience intense emotions. Feelings like:
* Rage* Terror* Grief* Heartbreak* Anger* Panic
However, it's important to understand that these intense emotions are completely normal for women who have experienced or are experiencing trauma. It's vital for victims to have safe places to express these emotions. Supportive, loving friends and professionals can help victims process difficult emotions and work through them.
Fear Of The Family Court System is Normal: You're Not Alone!
Many victims fear male authority figures, government and court-appointed officials (like the police, CPS, guardians at litem, court evaluators, judges, etc.), and even attorneys.
Because the family court system has failed so many victims of abuse, you are not alone in your fears.
However, every single day, more and more good people are advocating for women and children. Find a supportive community, like the Betrayal Trauma Recovery Group, to help you process your fears and validate you as you begin your journey to healing.
