Key Takeaways:

✅ Recognizing Abuse: Many victims don’t realize they are in an abusive situation until they see a checklist of red flags. Understanding manipulation tactics is crucial.

✅ Creating a Safety Plan: Planning an escape is key—have a go-bag, stash money, and know where to go when it's time to leave.

✅ Healing Takes Time: Forgiving oneself is the hardest step. Rebuilding trust in your own decisions starts with small steps, like engaging in hobbies or setting goals.

✅ Empowerment Through Self-Defense: Learning self-defense, especially techniques tailored to intimate partner violence, can help survivors feel strong and in control of their safety.

✅ Trauma Lives in the Body: Healing isn’t just mental—it’s physical. Practices like yoga, somatic therapy, and hypnotherapy can help process trauma more effectively.

✅ You Are Not Alone: There are resources and organizations worldwide dedicated to helping survivors escape and rebuild their lives. Never hesitate to reach out for support.
