Healthy relationships are built on a foundation of self-worth and self-care. Survivors of abuse often struggle with self-esteem after years of manipulation and control.
Learning to love yourself — through therapy, mindfulness, community support, and setting healthy boundaries — can help you heal and prepare you to engage in safe, respectful relationships.
Substance use and mental health struggles can complicate this process, but they don’t define you. Every small act of self-love is a powerful step toward resilience and recovery. 💜
