Healing from past Abusive Boyfriend
Although the relationship ended over a year ago, I still haven't fully healed from the trauma and am on my second round of therapy for this issue. Its hard to get past the memories and triggers that bring them up, or to cope with the abuse that went on for so long.
Just looking to talk with people who have gone through something similar and who can offer advice or words of encouragement.

I've been through one round of therapy but it was so close to the time of the actual trauma that I ended up blocking it all out.
Abuse is tough to get away from and to get past.

I understand how hard I can be to move on from something so upsetting, especially going through relationship abuse myself. Even years later, I am still scared by it but I learned that I will be okay one day and things will get better even if not right away. It can be hard but it is important to learn to love and care about yourself when you feel stressed or are having a rough time recovering.
I really hope that things are better and you are okay. No one should have to go through such a tough thing and it will never be your fault.
