@healingbythenumbers_: I used to think being cool meant keeping the peace. Letting it go. Laughing it off. But being quiet didn’t stop it from hurting me. Now I say things like: “You can’t talk to me like that.” “That was abuse.” “I trust myself.” I’m not saying it calmly. I’m saying it with a shaky voice, a racing heart, and years of silence behind me. But I’m saying it. If you’re saying it too — even just to yourself — I’m so proud of you. You’re finally safe enough to hear your own truth. 💛 Save this to remind yourself you are worth fighting for. 💬 Join our community for support as you start setting boundaries with the people who hurt you. #HealingAfterAbuse #SurvivorCoded #CPTSDRecovery #EmotionalAbuseAwareness #TrustingMyselfAgain
