Unbridled Faith Workbook 5: Recovery From Relationship Trauma

Unbridled Faith Workbook 5: Recovery From Relationship Trauma

The Unbridled Faith Workbook will address recovery from relationship trauma with someone who has a personality disorder. Special attention will be given to narcissistic abuse. Narcissistic abuse is currently one of the fastest growing relationship trauma contributors. While each personality disorder is unique, there are common abuse themes woven throughout all of them. The aftereffects for survivors are the same: the feeling of walking on eggshells, always second-guessing your decisions, inability to trust your intuition, low self-esteem, stuck in an emotional rut, feelings of anxiety or depression, constant looking over your shoulder, “waiting for the other shoe to drop,” shame, guilt and fear, to name a few. Recovering from trauma after being in a relationship with someone who has a personality disorder is possible, although not always simple or easy. It is important to realize that you are not alone. Until now, you likely felt that you were on an island, and no one could possibly understand what you have suffered. You may have felt guilty for not seeing the abusive person for who they really were or getting out of the relationship sooner. These thoughts are lies the enemy uses to isolate, shame, and distract you from the truth. The fact is you are not alone! Not only are there thousands of others who have suffered similar abuse and injustices, but also Jesus intimately knows your pain. It’s ok if you don’t believe this truth. We will cover it in depth as you progress through this workbook. The exercises included will help rewire your brain to depend on God’s truth instead of the lies you have been told. You will learn: Skills to set clear boundaries with people. - The value of saying “no” to things that will not bring healing to your life. - The ways to deepen your dependence on the Lord instead of people. - Strategies for self-care and increasing your self-worth. - How to trust the Holy Spirit’s power and wisdom. When you complete each Unbridled Faith workbook, you will have an exciting and renewed outlook on life. Your passion to do things you have never done before, or thought you couldn’t do, will burn inside of you. Your desire to further God’s Kingdom here on earth and for eternity will inspire you. I am so excited for your journey and healing to begin. Let’s get started on your journey to hope and healing today!
