THE POWER OF EXPRESSIVE WRITING

Writing is a way to know ourselves. It eases us through unsettling times. A bonus: robust self-awareness provides guardrails against accepting coercive control.

CULTIVATING RESILIENCE FROM COERCIVE CONTROL

There is a simple tool that helps many trauma survivors; simple but not always easy. So, ahead of time, give yourself wells of permission and patience.

Grief is always a normal and important part of healing for intimate partner abuse survivors.
