I am glad you managed to get away from such an abusive relationship. It's true that people deal with different situations differently but I believe that the most important step is to go away as far away from the source of Abuse as possible.Mjgarrison wrote: ↑02 Apr 2018, 23:20 I feel like the best way to overcome abuse is to get away from and learn the signs so you can stay away from it. I was badly abused by my ex-husband and I didn't start to heal until I took myself and my kids far away from the situation. It still took about 10 years to forgive my abuser and start to really trust people in my life again.
What is the best way to overcome abuse and trauma?

Second trauma so one meaning is physical stress and the other meaning is injury. To prevent trauma simply we dont need to poke our nose in other matters or otherwise we have to face the problems. Also we should share every problem with elders this makes us feel relax. If we want to stay away from trauma we should all the time keep ourselves busy in doing something like reading, writing, exercise etc.

Some other people just need to run away.
In both cases is necessary to move on and try to occupy your mind with different things.

Also, I think it's super important to seek counseling, help and support because it can make the difference between healing, or repression (which has a way of coming back in other negative ways later on). But at the same time, like with any serious injury, healing is a process and there can be setbacks and you will always carry the remnants of that experience - like a scar.
As for writing about it: my opinion is that you don't need to have personal experience, but empathy and the ability to listen and learn about it in order to write effectively.
