  • We believe in the healing power
    of community

    Healing is complex, non-linear and unique to us all, but it’s a journey we can navigate together. See what others have already shared on 'Your Healing', or use some of our prompts to Share Your Journey:

    What Has Your Healing Journey Taught You?
    E.g. “I’ve learned I’m stronger than I give myself credit for.”

    What Challenges Have You Faced?
    E.g. “Coping with the highs and lows of healing has been exhausting.”

    What's Been Helpful For Your Healing?
    E.g. “Journaling helps me process emotions. Therapy's been a game-changer for me.”

    What Have You Let Go Of?
    E.g. “I’ve let go of the belief that I’m broken, damaged and defined by my trauma.”

    Any Wisdom For Survivors?
    E.g. “One day at a time—setbacks are normal.”

    Want To Ask The Community?
    E.g. “What’s one thing you wish you had known at the start of your healing journey?”

Psychological abuse of ex partner

I am a retired teacher (content redacted). I have just completed a ‘Peaced Together’ course (content redacted), which acknowledged that trauma and events which happen in our life, shatter our lives into little pieces.
With time we put back the pieces together, never in the way they were together originally, but with a new light now joining them together.
If you (Beyond Surviving) establish a group in Dublin, I would be interested in joining, to share what I have learned (content redacted) when I had to ask my abusive partner to leave my house and find accommodation.

I am not the same person I was (content redacted) when I met my abusive partner. Unfortunately I invited him to come and live with me after 6 months. Biggest mistake of my life. It was coercive control of a psychological manner.
I have now met another man who is very respectful and kind. However I am changed. I’m still looking for ‘warning signs’

I am a qualified life coach and hope to study trauma in the near future (content redacted).
