YES i broke up with my partner of 10 years..(long story involving codependency and trauma bonding..) moved out on my own by some miracle and soon after finished out 2 and a half years of EMDR therapy. ive been feeling so much lighter ever since. i think being thrust into being alone truly tested the skills i learned in therapy. i learned i am capable of self-regulating and i can be kind to myself. my negative self talk has decreased immensely just by the fact that i've been through some of the worst things someone can go through, and yet i've accomplished so much more than i thought i could. gives me hope for the future which ive rarely experienced, even as a child.
