The confusion only gets worse. Wasn't it enough that we had to be confused the entire time we were in the relationship? And now after it's ended, we have to experience more of it. Not only was this confusing for me, it was really, really frustrating too. So when this happens, most people who are on the receiving end of the confusing behavior start to believe things like, maybe I was the problem or maybe I'm being overly dramatic.
Imagine enduring a rollercoaster of emotions where one moment, you're facing cruelty, and the next, your abuser is showering you with kindness. In this episode of The Emotional Abuse Recovery Podcast, Allison K. Dagney unpacks this confusing behavior shift that many survivors experience. She dives into the bewilderment and self-doubt that arise when an abuser's demeanor flips from harsh to accommodating, leaving you questioning your own perceptions and feelings.
Allison highlights how these drastic changes can trigger a whirlwind of emotions, often rooted in deep-seated subconscious beliefs. Phrases like 'maybe it's me' or 'maybe it wasn't that bad' can cloud your judgment, making it hard to see the situation clearly. But don't worry, Allison offers practical advice on how to reframe these thoughts and replace uncertainty with confidence. By recognizing and challenging these ingrained beliefs, you can start to regain control over your emotions and thoughts.
She also discusses the dangers of clinging to false hope for change, which can further entangle you in a web of confusion and disappointment. If you've ever found yourself trapped in this cycle, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable steps to help you break free and move towards emotional healing and clarity. Tune in for a compassionate and enlightening discussion that aims to support and empower survivors on their journey to recovery.
