@c2ocounseling: Someone struggling to explain what happened to them doesn’t mean the harm wasn’t real. When abuse happens gradually—through manipulation, gaslighting, emotional abuse, fear, and repeated boundary violations—it can be difficult to put the experience into a neat timeline. Sometimes the body remembers what the mind is still trying to understand. Survivors may pause, minimize, forget pieces, question themselves, or struggle to find the “right” words. Their story doesn’t have to sound perfect for their pain to matter. Healing can begin when we stop asking, “Why can’t you explain it better?” and start asking, “What happened to you?” 💜 Abuse doesn’t have to leave a bruise to leave an impact.
