Healing from Emotionally Difficult or Abusive Relationships: Reconnecting with Your True Self

In the recent blog post, Kelley delves into how healing from emotionally difficult or abusive relationships begins with reconnecting with your true Self. Many individuals who experience emotional abuse feel overwhelmed and disconnected from their core needs and desires. Trauma-informed therapy models like Internal Family Systems (IFS) can help by guiding individuals to understand the different 'parts' of themselves, created as protective mechanisms. The goal is to heal these parts and bring your Self—your calm, compassionate core—into the forefront. Rebuilding your relationship with yourself is the first step toward reclaiming strength, confidence, and authenticity after emotional pain.
