Season 2 Ep: 3 How Self-Sabotaging Behavior and Emotional Abuse Trauma Ruin Every Romantic Relationship
Breaking the Cycle: Releasing Repressed Emotions & Stopping Abuse "Releasing repressed and suppressed emotions toward our ‘original abusers,’ and learning strategies for dealing with anger and stress in more constructive ways” (Engle, 2023, p. 15)
This is where healing begins. In this episode, we talk about the uncomfortable truth: stopping abuse, whether we are the victim or the abuser, requires deep self-awareness, courage, and compassion.
We explore what it means to: Walk away from emotionally or physically abusive relationships Acknowledge past pain and how it still echoes in our present Recognize triggers and develop assertive, healthy responses Rebuild self-worth, especially when it’s been stripped away
Take accountability for harmful behaviors if we’ve been the ones causing harm.
Healing isn’t just about surviving. It’s about understanding where the pain began, how it manifests in our relationships, and how we can make conscious choices to break the cycle, for good.
