What recovery after abuse can look like

• Card 1

  Recovery after abuse is rarely a clean arc. It often includes grief for the relationship you hoped for, anger that arrives late, numbness, relief and guilt for feeling relieved — sometimes all in one afternoon.

• Card 2

  Signs of movement people often overlook

  • Noticing a behaviour and naming it, even quietly to yourself
  • Sleeping better, or eating without a knot in your stomach
  • Making a small decision without rehearsing how to justify it
  • Feeling anger where you used to feel only fault
  • Reconnecting with one person you had lost touch with
