WWhat brought me to therapy is very unusual. I got a divorce after 31 years of abuse (then let the x live in my house for awhile). My church of 31 years was going to vote me out of membership, and my girlfriend suggested a t/pastor to see regarding the spiritual abusive situation. He journeyed with me for the 18 months that I fought the system. The first man in my life who ever stood up for me.
he taught me the most valuable words I'd ever learned or heard: "Restorative Justice"--This is what you did, this is how it made me feel. SO empowering to someone abused for a lifetime.

I am still with him (5 years)...unfortunately, I fell in love with him.
Long story.....hugs, Sassy
