Ep 152: Healing After Domestic Abuse: The Progress That You Don’t See


Listen Later

If you’ve ever thought, “I should be further along by now,” this episode is for you.
When you’re still navigating post-separation abuse, family court chaos, or co-parenting with someone who continues to hurt you, healing might not look—or feel—like what you expected. You might still freeze when a message comes in. You might still cry in the car before showing up for your kids. And you might believe that means you're not healing.

But what if the most important signs of healing are the ones no one sees—not even you?

We’re talking about the invisible signs of progress: the quiet, powerful shifts that don’t get celebrated but matter immensely.

You’ll hear:

  • Why healing doesn’t always feel like joy or peace—and what it might feel like instead
  • Real-life examples of subtle progress that survivors often overlook
  • How trauma makes it harder to recognize growth, even when it’s happening
  • A new way to think about hope when the future feels foggy

Because even if it doesn’t feel like it… you are healing.
