Inner Healing ~ How to Heal Domestic Abuse from Within

by Dr. Jeanne King, Ph.D.

Women in all walks of life leaving abusive relationships ask the question, “How do I heal from the trauma of being abused?” Some of these women will have lost their homes, their savings…the lives they once knew, including contact with their children.

Then, there are those who suffered a physical blow so debilitating that they continue to pamper a lingering medical condition or seek to adapt to an alteration in their physical appearance.

Some domestic abuse survivors are fortunate to say that all they lost was time and they gained wisdom. Whatever your circumstances when you leave an abusive relationship, there will be the need for healing from within.

Healing Domestic Abuse From Within

Healing from within means finding the joy within and the joy will pull out the pain. Or finding the peace within and the peace will pull out the conflict. Or finding the clarity within and the clarity will pull out the confusion. Or being the harmony within, through which the stress releases.

It all happens within. Think about it. Healing is an inside job. It may be inspired by some external maneuver, but the building blocks of repair are internal.
