Being abused is exhausting and emotionally draining. The process of surviving requires much courage and incredible
energy. To conserve my emotional energy and resources and to support myself in hard emotional times, I can do some
of the following:
 |
If I have left the relationship and I am experiencing loneliness or manipulative tactics from my abusive partner, I can take care of myself by ___________________________. |
 |
When I have to communicate with my partner in person or by telephone, I can emotionally prepare by _____________________________________________.
|
 |
When I face potentially difficult times like court cases, meetings with lawyers and such, I can prepare by _____________________________________. |
 |
I can call ____________________________, _______________________________, and _________________________________ as other resources to support me. |
