A lot of stress and tension can result from experiencing an abusive relationship. This stress can manifest in survivors’ minds, bodies, and emotions.

A body scan can be a helpful tool to identify places where you are holding tension and feeling the impacts of stress within your body.

One by one, focus on different parts of your body, from the top of your head or the bottom of your feet, and move down or up accordingly. As you focus on each body part, consider if you notice any tension or have experienced any possible physical symptoms of stress in that part of your body.

When you have completed the scan of your entire body, take a few calming breaths and reflect on what you noticed about how stress and tension might be impacting you physically.

If you notice a lot of tension, consider making time for more self-care and relaxation, as well as seeking support from a professional counselor. Visit https://www.sourceforsurvivors.info/resources.html for resources for finding professional support.

Nobody deserves to experience abuse. If you suffered abuse from someone that should have treated you with kindness and response, know that the abuse is not your fault.

Abuse can leave lasting effects for survivors, such as traumatic memories, mental health challenges, financial difficulties, and more. Healing and recovering from these effects *is* possible. However, the healing process often involves being intentional and proactive in taking steps toward recovery.

The passage of time can help somewhat, but time and intentionality is often an even more powerful combination. You deserve healing and a brighter future. You are worthy of healing and peace. Consider what decisions and steps you could take to truly own your capacity and worthiness for healing.

As you reflect on the ways that abusive relationship experiences have impacted your life, identify sources of motivation for your healing journey. Once you’ve identified these motivating factors, you can return to them later if there are times when you feel like giving up.

Knowing your “why” can help you create an intentional pathway toward your recovery and healing journey.

You can feel love toward someone but still recognize that the most healthy step to take is to end the relationship.

Abusive relationships can give rise to very complicated feelings. On the one hand, survivors may feel love or care for their abusive partner. These feelings can exist even when hurt, pain, and fear are present.

It may feel strange to have both positive and negative emotions toward the same person at one time. You may wonder, “How can I both love and hate this person at the same time?”; or “This person can be so funny and makes me laugh, but they also really hurt me sometimes.” Give yourself permission to feel the full range of emotions that come up as a result of your experiences in the relationship.

If you feel confused or uncertain about how to navigate ambivalent feelings related to a past or current abusive relationship, consider speaking with a trained professional to help sort through your feelings and experiences. Visit https://www.sourceforsurvivors.info/resources.html to learn more.
