Recovering After Trauma
Just a little bit about some of the traumas I have personally experienced in my life: I was sexually abused for seven years by two male family members. A few years after that, I found myself in a physically, sexually, and emotionally abusive relationship for two and a half years. Then after that, I found myself in another abusive relationship for about seven months. I ended up getting pregnant and not knowing; we were broken up and he found me at a friend's house leaving to beat me up outside. I ended up having a miscarriage. I was eight weeks along. I have also experienced severe physical trauma. I was hit by a semi-truck and thrown off the freeway. That really messed with my emotions. I struggle everyday with PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Not to mention how much all of this trauma has effected my self-confidence.

Psychological Abuse in Relationships
Domestic violence has been a large topic in the media lately. So I think it’s time that people become more aware about the different kinds of abuse. Abuse is not just limited to someone beating, shoving, and cussing at you. There is a whole different side of abuse. It’s called psychological, mental, and emotional abuse. Some people might say that this kind of abuse is the most damaging because it causes emotional wounds that don’t heal like physical wounds.
