✨The Art of Releasing Truama✨
I’ve never truly been this vulnerable and open on my page but I want to share something that I think will resonate with a lot of women.
Have you ever found yourself in a relationship and you wondered to yourself how did I end up here? Like this? Of all the places I could be? That’s how I feel my last relationship went. And one day I woke up and realized I legit spent the last two years of my life in love with a narcissist that had been stringing me along just as something to play with. And I didn’t love or value myself enough to see it.
Honestly for a while it sent me into a bit of a depression. Because I wondered to myself why did he do this to me? All I ever did was pour love, compassion, and kindness into him but in returned he played in my face. But what I had to realize is that that’s just the type of person HE was and he preyed on the good hearted individual that I am to his benefit. What really made me wake up was I was having a conversation with a good friend and she said Friend in this moment how do you feel? And I sat back and truly thought about it before I asked her. I said I felt unsatisfied and conflicted. And she asked me why? I said before I feel like I’m in a dead end situation trying to find my way out of my toxic living situation, a story for another time. And I had convinced myself that although this man was basically playing with me he offered a way out. And that way out was worth it. I was in reality playing in my OWN face. No one hear me NO ONE is worth your peace of mind. No one is worth compromising your happiness and what you desire out of a HEALTHY relationship. Have non negotiables! Things you will NOT come up off of or compromise no matter what. Above all value you YOURSELF move than anything else in this world. Because you are precious and one of a kind. The right man/woman/or both will come along and love you the way you deserve. But you have to love you first. #vulnerable #safespace #embracevulnerability #relationshipadvice #vulnerablelove #LoveYourself #youmatter #blackgirlcreator #Lemon8Diary
Releasing trauma is essential for personal growth and emotional well-being. Many individuals face the challenge of moving on from unhealthy relationships, particularly those involving narcissists. Understanding narcissism and its impact can empower victims. Learning to identify your non-negotiables in relationships is vital; they act as a guide for maintaining mental health and emotional stability. In your journey to self-love, it is crucial to surround yourself with supportive friends who encourage your growth. Sharing your experiences, as Bree does, fosters a connection with others who may have similar stories. This shared vulnerability creates a strong sense of community and safe space for healing. Consider engaging in therapeutic practices or support groups that focus on self-strengthening after experiencing trauma. Additionally, practicing mindfulness and self-care can significantly aid in nurturing a positive self-image. Journaling your feelings and experiences can also help articulate your thoughts and serve as a tool for reflection. Remember, moving on is a process, and it's essential to be patient with yourself. Ultimately, a healthy relationship is rooted in mutual respect and appreciation. By prioritizing your well-being and setting clear boundaries, you pave the way for the right person to enter your life—a person who will recognize your unique worth and love you as you deserve.
