Today, my guest is Susan Ball. Susan discloses to us how leaving the relationship which nearly killed her was her starting point. Susan now can help you find your new beginning also. Breaking away from an abusive relationship is the beginning of a difficult journey. Making the changes to rebuild your life will hurt. Susan had to do it, and she's now supported others to make those changes too - when you're ready to build a new life, do it with support. Why Does a Woman Stay in an Abusive Relationship? Why Did Susan Stay? Even when it hurts, a known place can feel like security. Starting as a child where, over the years, Susan attended 26 schools, building relationships seemed impossible. She felt unsupported and unable to find her own voice. This place of insecurity and loneliness became the place she believed she belonged. Maybe you felt trapped, like myself and Susan, believing there was no way out. Some of the barriers Susan faced in moving forward were admittedly at her own making; imagining a different future felt almost as impossible as achieving it. Other obstacles were physical and terrifying. Eventually, desperation made Susan leave, and courage brought her opportunities. In those moments when you can't envision your change - know that you're not alone. More of us out here have to do the same work you are doing internally. Breaking the Cycle Means Finding REAL Recovery After Abuse. Susan has been a coach for many years, but establishing her approach to REAL recovery took a long time. She is now about 10 years in the making and still going, just like we all have to keep going. Susan was determined not to be defined by her past and tried to push it away - until realizing that healing those wounds was necessary to create the better future she truly believed in. Having been through counseling, she still relived the nightmare -- frustrated and confused, it felt like she couldn't move on. Maybe you're listening today because you've tried other paths to recovery. You're not alone. Susan and I tried a lot of different things as well. Breaking the cycle in our own lives -- truly healing -- allowed us to experience the joy of a new life; sharing this learning can become our new goal. You, too, can embrace the adventure of a future without pain -- more than that, a joyful future. Take control with courage and grace.

Mary O’Maley, Hypnotherapist and Alternative Healthcare Professional, (MaryOMaley.com) describes many tools, attitudes, and healing modalities which help individuals recover, thrive, and transform after Childhood Abuse.  Dr. Carol Francis also explains that often childhood abuse is either not remembered until adulthood and/or cannot be easily resolved until adulthood due to opportunity, strength-building efforts, and independence.  In addition, since there are levels or degrees of recovering after childhood abuse, often adults will revisit issues that need more work, more healing, more love, more attention etc. These later adult revisits can provide greater and greater freedom, insights, healing and Self-respect. Various traditional western psychological tools, eastern philosophy tools, modern shamanic tools, hypnotherapeutic tools are described as well in this hour dialogue between Mary O’Maley, M.S. and Dr. Carol Francis to help individuals recognize the many tools that will help them progress along the Paths to Recovery After Abuse and Trauma.
