188|Measurement of Abuse
Mon Feb 02 2026
Too many survivors of abuse don't seek help because they feel what happened to them wasn't that bad compared to what someone else had happen to them.
They are comparing their abuse to what happened to someone else and dismissing it.
Also they might be too embarassed or ashamed to admit what happened.
Instead they just tough it out, putting up walls and masks to hide their pain and suffering.
Too many survivors of abuse wait until a crisis breaks them down to finally seek help for what happened to them.
Or they never seek help because they are afraid of appearing weak by admitting that they need it.
If this is you don't wait until your life comes crashing down to seek help. The sooner that you start to tear down your walls and masks you can start healing from your trauma.
