35: Surviving Trauma And Domestic Abuse with Kristy Drower

Today's episode is shining a light and awareness to a very alarming pandemic of domestic abuse.Kristy is a survivor of 20 years of severe domestic abuse, and is on a mission to heal and support the recovery of domestic abuse victims so that they never have to suffer abuse again. She was once stuck in the never-ending cycle of abuse. The episodes usually included anything from the most horrible verbal abuse to unfathomable severe physical violence and choking, adding up to years of being tormented, devalued and dehumanised.Twenty years of her life were spent fighting to live, not enjoying or flourishing in life, and just fighting to take another breath.She found a way out when I was taken to the mental health facility and had a complete psychological and emotional breakdown and was diagnosed with anxiety, CPTSD, cognitive brain damage and Stockholm syndrome. She was trauma-bonded, co-dependant, always seeking outside validation and I was manically suicidal.When she came across a modality using NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)and Time Line Therapy®, it changed her life forever. The biggest win of all was that her CPTSD was completely gone, and she was no longer trauma-bonded to her perpetrator.Today she is free.We talk about:-What exactly DV is-How the brain reacts to prolonged abuse-How to stay safe-Kristy shares 3 important recovery tips-And there is so much more..!Links:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLWxZmsl8vJNcI6dVpCde_whttps://www.facebook.com/kristydrower/https://instagram.com/kristydrower_/ Hosted on Acast.
