When you hold on to your ex, even when you know they were not good for you, it's because we believe that only they can fill a need that we have inside of us.
Feeling a longing for someone who hurt you can be incredibly confusing, especially when that person was emotionally or physically abusive. In this episode of 'The Emotional Abuse Recovery Podcast', host Allison K. Dagney dives into this perplexing issue. Having survived over 20 years of emotional abuse herself, Allison brings a wealth of personal experience and professional expertise to the table.
She explains that missing an abusive ex is a common experience, but it often masks deeper, unmet needs within ourselves. It's not the person we miss, but something else entirely. Allison guides listeners through a series of reflective questions designed to help uncover what it is they are truly missing. Is it the sense of security, the routine, or perhaps the validation? By identifying these needs, listeners can begin to address them in healthier ways.
She emphasizes the importance of personal reflection, journaling, and letting go of limiting beliefs that keep us tethered to toxic relationships. With a compassionate and encouraging tone, Allison offers practical steps to help listeners find joy and fulfillment within themselves, rather than seeking it from an abusive ex. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with the confusing emotions that follow the end of an abusive relationship.
Whether you're in the early stages of recovery or further along in your journey, Allison's insights provide valuable guidance for moving forward in a healthy way.
