October is National Domestic Violence month. I just want to express my thoughts to so many of you out there still in abusive relationships.

Escalation occurs quickly and someone doesn’t have to hit you to be determined, physical violence. Physical violence is power and control, and intertwines with emotional and psychological abuse.

No one should ever disrespect another human being and tell them where they can go, what they can wear, and who they can be friends with, financial abuse is domestic violence as well. It’s all power and control by individuals who clearly need help.

They do not change, it doesn’t matter if you’ve been with them for five days to 50 years. It’s never too late to leave and love yourself and respect yourself.

Help is out there, you can heal… if I can emphasize anything in my 30 year career as a practitioner, is that if they don’t want help and their actions don’t follow up with their words when they say they’ll change, they never do.

And as a result of everything we’re seeing on social media the last few weeks with the Ohio/ Flynn case they can hide behind church and community support for a long time as well. You are not alone. 🤍💜

Trauma Bond: some of you can relate.

A trauma bond is when you want to be comforted by the same person who hurt you. They are the source of your pain, and also the place where you go to escape it.

It's a brutal loop that's incredibly difficult to break: They hurt you. You're left in agonizing pain. Then they swoop in and provide comfort, reassurance, and care-which, after the pain you just experienced, feels euphoric.

Your nervous system then begins to associate that person with relief.

So when you break a trauma bond, you're not just breaking up with a person. You're withdrawing from the best emotional op**te you've ever known.
..But you wouldn't need the high if there wasn't a crash in the first place.

Sound familiar?
