Love is blind as we all know, and sometimes, we find ourselves in toxic and abusive relationships.
A person can walk out of a relationship and leave many questions which lead to emotional trauma.
The society will be like, of all the people, why just you? Why leave such a relationship?
However, emotional damages might be more dangerous than what the physical ones can do.
Psychology Today’s Andrea Matthews states "Emotional abuse is an attempt to control, in just the same way that physical abuse is an attempt to control another person," but the only difference is that no physical mark is left.
The following are ways to take your power back after an emotionally abusive relationship:
1. Focus on yourself
This is basically making sure your body and mental health is in a good state, eat a balanced diet, exercise and get enough sleep. This will help you to reweave stress.
Don't extend your anger to others. Be a good friend to yourself first because your best friend, lover, abused you and no longer needs you, thus a need to befriend yourself most than people around you, family etc. Be a good person and set an example.
3. Set new boundaries
History repeats itself, and to avoid it, do not do what you did. Set new rules to govern your new being.
