episode 206: How To Heal The Chaos of Abuse
The chaos of abuse can leave victims feeling confused, broken, lost, and fatigued.
But BTR Coach Denalee brings light and hope to trauma victims - your journey to healing isn't complex or out of reach. Simple, moment-to-moment choices can help you begin to heal from the chaos of abuse and start feeling joy again.
Live in the Present to Heal the Chaos of Abuse
"Whatever it is, whatever direction your mind is going, if you can bring yourself back to the present, focus on right now, today, what am I going to do? I'm going to recognize it, I'm going to correctly label it, and then I'm going to see where it takes me tomorrow. What is the next thing that I need to do? I don't have to think about it right now. I have to think about it in the moment when it comes." Coach Denalee, BTR.ORG Coach
Victims of abuse will often live in extreme anxiety, worrying about the ramifications of future decisions - should I stay? Should I go? What about the kids? What about our church community? Choosing to live in the present and make decisions that are pertinent to the present moment can calm the chaos and empower victims to step back into their own power.
Try Meditation to Heal the Chaos of Abuse
An incredible tool in a victim's arsenal is meditation.
Abuse and betrayal can create a wide schism between a victim and her ability to feel and experience her own body. Meditation helps victims become aware of their bodies and bridge the gap between body and mind.
Meditation can help victims process trauma, grieve, and express emotions that have been blocked.
Accept & Speak The Truth to Begin To Heal The Chaos of Abuse
"Many injured women don't even know why they're feeling the way they're feeling. And when you could put a name to what's going on, there's a whole bunch of peace that comes because you can label what's going on." Coach Denalee, BTR.ORG Coach
When victims courageously choose to speak their truth, they jumpstart the healing process.
Accurately labeling abuse and betrayal can help victims to find the support and self-care that they need in order to begin healing.
