You finally see it for what it is. Now it’s time to rebuild.

You’ve named it. You’ve faced it. Now you’re standing in the rubble of what you thought was love, wondering how to start again.

This isn’t toxic positivity. This is the *real, raw* work of recovery from covert abuse.

THE EMOTIONAL STAGES OF HEALING

STAGE 1:

The Fog Lifts

From confusion to clarity.

STAGE 2:

Anger & Guilt

Rage is part of the healing.

STAGE 3:

Grief

Mourning the illusion.

STAGE 4:

Rebuilding Identity

Who you are without their control.

Boundaries Without Guilt

Say no. Mean it. Keep moving.

Flying Monkeys & Enablers

Handle the backlash.

WHY YOU CAN'T GO BACK

It will cost you everything.

You weren’t weak. You were surviving while being slowly erased.
But now? Now you rise.
