What I’ve learned as a DV & trauma survivor:
- Stress & abuse causes serious health issues.
- Suppression is NOT healing, it makes it worse.
- Healing takes time & you can’t just “let go”.
- Forgive yourself, not the abuser.
- Many humans don’t have compassion.
- Moving on without healing = suppression.
- Each abuse situation is unique & there are levels of severity. All abuse is abuse.
- “Being a victim” & “playing a victim” are very different things. Being = real, Playing = fake.
- Victim is not a bad word, it is a real experience for many people, & should be acknowledged as such.
- Excuse means choice, Reason means no choice.
- When you tell your story remember heartless victim blamers exist.
- Some victims had red flags, some didn’t.
- Music can help you heal, learn an instrument, and express your feelings in a healthy way.
- Take care of your physical body with anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle because abuse can cause chronic inflammation.
- Real victims are constantly in a state of self blame, so remember the abuser is the only one to blame.
- Abusers thieves that steal a victim’s self worth; most victims had self worth before the abuse.
- Abusers are manipulators and con-artists.
- Abusers can either show who they are immediately or lead you on until one day they show their true abusive side. The latter is harder to spot.
