When Old Wounds Resurface
Navigating Healing as a Domestic Violence Survivor
Healing after domestic violence is never a straight path, it's a journey with twists, turns and layers. Just when you think you have “done the work,” old wounds can resurface, bringing back anger, sadness, or even guilt you thought you had buried long ago.
​
If you have ever asked yourself:
​
-
“Why am I still feeling this way years later?”
-
“Does this mean I have failed at healing?”
-
“Why can’t I let go of the past?”
​​
…you are not alone. Many survivors find that trauma revisits them in waves.
​
👉 The truth is, healing happens in layers. Each time those wounds resurface, it’s not a setback, it’s a sign you are ready to go deeper.
​
​
Why This Matters
​
As a survivor myself, even 15 years after leaving my abusive marriage, I have had seasons where old anger and grief came rushing back. It shook me. But it also taught me something important: healing isn’t about reaching a finish line, it’s about walking a path.
​
That is why I created my 4 Stages of Healing:
​
-
🌼 Daffodil → fragile beginnings
-
🦋 Butterfly → transformation
-
🪶 Feather → release
-
🌳 Oak Tree → rooted strength
​​
When old wounds surface, it often means you are shifting stages, moving from fragility into freedom.

Unmasking My True Self
After years in an abusive relationship, I had become so good at wearing masks that I had forgotten who I really was underneath them all. Identity loss is one of the hidden wounds of abuse and one of the hardest to heal.
Finding Light in Darkness
Gratitude isn’t just saying “thank you.” For survivors, it can ease heavy feelings, bring calm and spark hope. What if this simple practice is where mending truly begins, opening the way to a lighter, more hopeful tomorrow?

Does Your Story Empower You?
The stories we tell ourselves shape how we see our lives but sometimes, those stories keep us stuck in pain. After abuse, it’s easy to believe you are powerless, waiting for others to change. Reframing your story can shift you from victim to author of your own life.

The Holidays When You Are Alone
When you have lived through abuse, the holidays can feel like a reminder of everything you have lost. All that "joy to the world" messaging when your world feels anything but joyful. But what if being alone during the holidays isn't a problem. What if it's actually space to heal?
