That's the first, because a lot of times it's not you, it's not yourself that's saying those types of things. So these are those kind of negative core beliefs that we have about ourselves.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and this episode of Tearapy Recovery brings a crucial conversation to the forefront. Geimy Barreto, a bilingual clinician with a wealth of experience working with survivors of domestic violence, joins the show. With her background in psychology and social work, Geimy offers a compassionate and knowledgeable perspective on recognizing and breaking free from abusive relationships.
Growing up in certain communities, toxic behaviors can sometimes be normalized, making it hard to identify the signs of abuse. Geimy emphasizes the importance of trusting your gut feelings and listening to your inner voice, even when it feels challenging. She delves into the cycle of abuse, including the deceptive honeymoon phase that often traps victims in a loop of hope and despair. One key takeaway is the need to challenge negative core beliefs about oneself.
These beliefs can be deeply ingrained and often stem from the abuser's manipulative tactics. Geimy encourages listeners to seek support from organizations like the National Domestic Violence Hotline, which provides resources for safety planning, legal assistance, and emotional support. By recognizing the signs of abuse, questioning harmful beliefs, and accessing available resources, survivors can move towards self-sufficiency and self-love.
This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is possible and that support is available for those ready to take the first step towards freedom.
