@thelizabusshaus: Welcome to my series on life after abuse 🖤🖤 When people talk about resilience, they usually mean pushing through. But real resilience doesn’t look like that. For a lot of women coming out of abuse, chronic stress, or survival mode… the first stage isn’t strength. It’s exhaustion. Your nervous system has been in fight-or-flight for so long that when safety finally shows up, your body crashes. Not because you’re weak. Because your body is finally trying to repair itself. Most of us weren’t taught what recovery actually looks like. So this week I want to talk about restoration. How we rebuild strength. How we support our nervous systems. How we become resilient without destroying ourselves in the process. Because resilience isn’t just surviving. It’s learning how to restore. #ResilientWomen #HealingAfterAbuse #NervousSystemHealing
