how women rebuild their lives after domestic abuse and experience post-traumatic growth
There is little positive about domestic abuse, it’s painful and emotionally crippling.
However, the self-reflection and processing needed for recovery can bring about new strengths that those who have not been exposed to abuse can never access. Trauma can shake us up, force a re-evaluation of everything and encourage a more mindful, deliberate and successful path forward. Post traumatic growth can happen, and just as scar tissue is stronger than unblemished skin, it is possible to develop strength and resilience and have a positive and happy life following abuse.
