Resources - The Living AgainToolkit
ABUSE CHANGES YOU.
It has a way of hijacking your
independence. You forget what it feels like to make YOUR OWN choices.
For a long time, I had no sense of identity. I didn’t know what I liked, what I wanted, or who I even was.
I drifted. Adapting to whatever was
decided for me. I sacrificed so much of who I was.
I was in survival mode without even
realising it. Always pleasing.
Always afraid of actually choosing ME before HIM.
Re-setting those buttons in my head took time. Lots of practice.
Exercises in boundaries, confidence, assertiveness.
Accepting responsibility for my choices.
Letting go of the past.
And slowly learning that while I can’t
change what happened to me, I am in
charge of my present; and that means I can change MY FUTURE.
This Toolkit is built out of that journey.
There is no order how to use these modules, start wherever you feel like.
Sharing stories. Connecting people.
