I would appreciate it if someone could summarize for me the stages of recovery for survivors of abuse...

because I am about to go bat s*** crazy spinning my wheels around this need I have to contact him when I know rationally that's about the worst thing in the world I can do...

I don't really need to be told that this is normal though. I understand that I'm human. I'm not in a healthy emotional place right now.

thanks

When we are abused....it is a lot like being in the stages of grief. We have had a lot of loss when we were abused. A link is below that may help.

The 5 Stages of Loss and Grief | Psych Central

Also, here is an article on coping with abuse.

http://www.goodtherapy.org/therapy-for-abuse.html

You can take your time when you need it to process things. Maybe it would be best not to see this person you are speaking of. One time I didn't see my mom for a year as I needed to be away from her. She was my main abuser. Best wishes and I hope you get all of this sorted out.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
