When You’re Not Allowed to Be Human: A Journal Entry from Inside the Cycle of Abuse
Manage episode 496038866 series 3302217
This episode takes you inside the lived experience of emotional abuse. The story captures how emotional dysregulation, boundary violations, and false repair cycles can slowly erode a person’s sense of self.
We discuss how the classic cycle of abuse—tension, explosion, and reconciliation—can unfold in covert ways, leaving the survivor walking on eggshells, questioning their reality, and constantly managing someone else’s emotional state at the expense of their own.
This is not a story of screaming or slamming doors. It’s a story of slow erasure, hypervigilance, and the quiet agony of never being allowed to just be.
