Empowering system

[Brokenhearted]

Someone ought to invent such a thing for survivors, sort of a Martial Arts just for them, with mantras to repeat as they work out anger and build self-esteem, shouting, "I will not be defined by abuse" or "I am worthy, deserving, of great value!" or whatever and so on. Wouldn't that be great, I think.

There is something called EFT (Emotional freedom Technique), which is a bit like that....my bf's Therapist uses it and my bf has found it incredibly helpful to 'unstick' certain emotions......usually results in expressions of angry shouting/swearing/punching bed or pillows, or crying etc.

Obviously it's not the same as a martial art, but he's found it very liberating and safe......he's never done it in front of me, but I've heard the noise from downstairs!

There is an EFT website, which I could send you the link for if you would like, but there may also be therapists you could find who utilise it too.

and can I just say, you seem to be coping with everything incredibly well

peace,
