All abuse is abuse

Do you ever ask yourself if you’re the villain in a situation? Do you ever ask yourself what made them do that? Do you ever ask yourself if you deserved that?

I’ve asked myself that so many times, I asked myself what did I do wrong or what is it about me.

Then I realised it wasn’t me that was the problem. It was them.

Going through abuse whether it is emotional, verbally, cheating, controlling is not okay. Just because someone doesn’t physically hurt you it doesn’t make it any less. Abuse comes in all sorts of forms.

Some men and women are fighting everyday to get through the damage that has been done to them. Some people don’t see because they are fighting in silence.

I see you, I got you, you are a warrior, you are strong, be proud to be you, you’ve got this!

Who else can stand up and say they are a survivor, place a heart to show the survivors and one fighting we are here for them❤️

The image describes how abuse activates the "Fight or Flight Response," leading to hypervigilance, anxiety, and heightened startle responses, making minor stressors feel overwhelming due to constant high alert in the sympathetic nervous system.

The image explains that chronic abuse can alter brain structures like the amygdala (overactive), hippocampus (shrinks, memory issues), and prefrontal cortex (less active, difficulty with emotional regulation and decision-making).

How abuse can change your nervous system 🧠

When you have been abused either physically or emotionally it can cause changes to your nervous system which can cause higher cortisol in your body! Learning mindful practices, physical activity, therapy and finding people who make you feel safe can help your recovery process. #selfhealing
