Setting Boundaries in New Relationships After Abuse: Mandy Friedman's Guide

It is important for survivors in recovery to be strategic when entering in to new dating relationships. I recommend naming your deal-breakers ahead of time. Let your rational mind do the thinking and write a list for your future self.
Starting fresh after an abusive relationship can be daunting, especially when it comes to dating again. In this episode of SNAP: Survivors of Narcissistic & Abusive Personalities, Mandy Friedman, a licensed counselor with a wealth of experience in trauma and domestic violence, offers crucial advice for those ready to re-enter the dating world. Mandy emphasizes the importance of identifying and naming your deal breakers before diving into new relationships.
This isn't just a one-time task; she suggests creating a 'living document' that evolves as you grow and learn more about yourself and what you truly need in a partner. By setting clear boundaries and knowing your non-negotiables, you can protect yourself from falling into old patterns or getting swept away by the initial excitement of a new relationship.
Mandy's approach is all about being proactive and intentional, ensuring that your rational mind leads the way rather than being overshadowed by emotions. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to regain control over their dating life and prioritize their well-being after surviving abuse. Whether you're just starting to think about dating again or already navigating the complexities of new relationships, Mandy's insights will provide you with practical tools to stay grounded and make healthier choices.
