How Meditation Can Restore Your Creativity And Help You Heal From Emotional Abuse

Emotional abusers can seem to crush the life out of their victims, killing their desire to create, killing their joy in their hobbies, ruining moments of spontaneous joy.

How can victims of emotional abuse find themselves again?

Movement Can Help Victims of Emotional Abus

Some victims of emotional abuse report a feeling of numbness, or that they feel frozen. Movement may feel like an impossible task, but the trauma stored in victims’ bodies wants to be released.

Here are some ways that victims of emotional abuse can use movement to aid in healing:

  • Dancing to music that matches your emotions
  • Walking
  • Swimming, and allowing yourself to float
  • Practicing yoga

Victims of Emotional Abuse Can Use Creativity On Their Healing Journey

Emotional abusers condition victims to believe that they are not creative or good at their own hobbies. This can become debilitating to women over time.

Using creative outlets to express trauma or simply enjoy the moment can aid victims in processing trauma and re-learning how to feel peace.

Victims don’t have to be able to play an instrument or know how to create artwork to use creativity. Some simple ways that women can intentionally create are:

  • Trying new recipes
  • Sketching their feelings, however they come out on paper
  • Painting, including finger painting
  • Journaling
  • Blogging
  • Writing poetry
  • Writing letters
  • Decorating
  • Landscaping and gardening

Meditation: A Powerful Tool For Victims of Emotional Abuse

Meditation is an incredibly powerful tool for victims of emotional abuse. By accessing the subconscious mind, victims can process trauma in a healthy way.

Meditation offers victims the opportunity to express creativity in a unique way that is gentle and healing:
