Once you've escaped, you've escaped or once you're separate, that problem has been resolved and now you just need to have a different type of relationship is nonsense.
Words can be powerful tools for both harm and healing. In this episode of 'The Trauma of Abuse', host Hannah Barnard dives into how the language we use can keep us stuck in toxic relationships. She unpacks how certain terms and phrases can make abusers feel entitled to control us, and why it's crucial to change the way we talk about ourselves and our experiences. But that's not all.
Hannah also tackles the tricky subject of holidays and celebrations after trauma. For many, these times of joy can be overshadowed by painful memories and stress. She offers fresh perspectives on how to reclaim these occasions and make them meaningful again. One standout point is the importance of setting firm boundaries once you've left an abusive relationship. As Hannah puts it, 'Once you've escaped, you've escaped'.
The focus should shift to healing and building a new life, free from past entanglements. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking practical advice on breaking free from toxic dynamics and finding hope during tough times.
