E68 - Focus On Yourself

In this episode of the Pint-Sized Healing Podcast, Mags talks about how easy it is to fall into focusing all your energy on the person who abused you. While it's totally natural, it's not going to serve you in the long-run. Know that it IS possible to build a life where they're no longer the center of your thoughts.

Main Take-Aways

• You're allowed to be angry. But then it's important to move on to the next step

• When you're in an abusive situation, the reality is that everything is about them. Your normal was that nothing was ever about you 

• In your healing process, it's important to gently say to yourself, "That was then and this is now. It's about me now." 

• After leaving abuse (and because it's about you now), you can focus on learning new skills about boundaries, self-care, and improving your self-talk
