Emotional Abuse

I've really been struggling with this...my friends and family say i have been used as an emotional punching bag as well as my therapist saying that. I have such a hard time hearing that because i know i have allowed it to happen. I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice on how to get rid of the negative memories and flash backs and how to move into a better place. I am trying to build my confidence back and my self esteem but all i hear are his horrible words in my mind...why do i believe the bad things he says and take them as the truth when 100 other people around me say the exact opposite...anyone here understand what i mean?

It is worth reading and may help you right now.

This is the type of thing we WORK on. The group is specifically designed and developed to HELP YOU to get to the other side.

Also a one on one is a great way to work through some of these issues on a personal basis.

All these services and information are available on my BLOG wihich it on the left side of the page.

IT works if YOU work it.

Honestly, I found the best

Honestly, I found the best thing to do was talk to people who actually DO understand. If certain parts of the board trigger you somewhat, like the Share Your Story section, possibly avoid those.

It sounds like your friends are sympathetic. And they will be for a while, until they begin to wonder why you are not moving on. But, they really do not understand what you are going through. I don't think anyone does until you have lived it.
