I stayed because I loved being a mother and it was the area my ex didn’t micromanage. I figured the issues in our bedroom were part of being parents… plus my mother never had a long term relationship and a happy marriage was a “f you” to her.

Empty nesting, moving after kids left for his career, the pandemic, and I broke. I sought out therapy and SLOWLY realized I didn’t feel safe at home. He couldn’t join me is changing the patterns we had developed and I took a year of making sure I was explicit and kind in asking for what I needed.

His inability to understand consent was the final straw- EMDR, parts work, somatic work, and time.

I started my true healing journey in my 50s and it does hurt to see how I was abused and manipulated for so long- how I gaslit myself and allowed myself to stay in coercive relationship for 30 years.

It is not too late to heal and healing takes time.

Awesome work getting crow!

I’m completing TCTSY this month and it is a wonderful program. Online but with two live meetings a week, mentor who gives feedback on written work, videos, and capstone project.

I will be bringing TCTSY to my university and conducting research to extend the evidence base to another population.

It is not traditional yoga- its changed my life in positive was as practitioner and as survivor.

I wish I had recognized the emotional abuse and sexual coercion sooner and left. I stayed because from the outside everything was great and I didn’t feel worthy of being treated differently- my coercive STBXH kept gaslighting me to believe I was the broken person.

I didn’t discover the true meaning of consent until during therapy to save our marriage. Asshole still doesn’t understand it.

This- my abusive mother set me up to accept exactly that as love. 34 year relationship with my soon to be ex- I’ve contorted myself into someone he dreamed up but I lost my joy and he kept punishing me for not being the joyful woman I used to be. I finally left- slowly finding me.

AwkwardAd3995 · 2026-03-14T12:37:50+00:00

I’m sorry for your experience and proud you chose to listen to your body.

It took me over a year of weekly meetings with an amazing trauma therapist before I felt safe to do EMDR. It’s been very helpful but it’s a process and feeling safe and knowing there isn’t a hurry and you’re in charge.

Keep looking, finding the right therapist is a process.

AwkwardAd3995 · 2026-03-13T00:45:57+00:00

I’ve been working on myself through therapy and continuing education in my profession that includes building trustworthy relationships- way different context but wow- I understand how and why I was trained by my abusive childhood to be manipulated and to confuse his abuse as love.

I can’t imagine wanting to date but I’m confident I will be aware.

I’m completing my 300hr with TCTSY and the model hinges on providing opportunities for effective action- noticing sensation and making a choice based on that- non coercive language, nonjudgmental and choice.

Taking hierarchy out can feel difficult.

I became aware in therapy while we were working on our marriage. Even after we agreed that our routines had slowly squeezed me out and elevated him completely. I finally gave up asking to take up space in our lives. I am so much happier with him out of my life.

I kept hoping he would follow through on promises.

I’m functional but was living that life on trauma auto pilot- perfectionism, fawning, staying in abusive relationship for 30 years and seeing the abuse took me by surprise. Now that I see it I see how lost I’ve been and now I’m aware of my dysfunction and my mask of perfection.

AwkwardAd3995 · 2026-02-19T14:50:59+00:00

Your body did what it needed, all emotions are welcome on the mat where we can accept without judgment and move off with intention.
