Counselling

by Jim O Shea

Abuse (Continued from previous issue) Self-care, safety, healing and forgiveness, following leaving an abusive relationship. Spiritual self-care ∙ Make time for reflection ∙ Spend time with nature ∙ Find a spiritual connection or commu­ nity ∙ Be open to inspiration ∙ Cherish your optimism and hope ∙ Be aware of nonmaterial aspects of life ∙ Try at times not to be in charge or the expert. ∙ Be open to not knowing ∙ Identify what is meaningful to you and notice its place in your life ∙ Meditate ∙ Pray. Survivors may blame God for not helping them, for not changing their abusive partners, and perhaps for abandoning them. Yet those who believe in God can recall that he does not intend or want people to turn their backs on love. Jesus experienced isolation, rejection, betrayal, violence, humiliation and abandonment. ∙ Sing ∙ Spend time with children ∙ Experience awe ∙ Contribute to causes in which you believe. ∙ Read inspirational literature (talks, music, etc.) I would add another. Sometime the process of finding our inner power can include learning to rely on an outside source of power; a higher power. It is a case of trusting a wisdom and strength greater than ourselves. The Hidden Hurt organisation has a further list which outlines activities and behaviours that can help in the first few weeks or months after the separation. Some of these have already been mentioned, but it is no harm to repeat them. Their suggestions are as follows: ∙ Keep a diary of everything you man­ age to do no matter how ordinary or mundane they are. Give yourself credit for everything, such as cooking the meals, and when feeling low or feeling that you are unable to cope, read this as a reminder of how much you do to get by on a daily base. ∙ Remember that isolation is one of the hallmarks of abuse, and it is the aim of the abuser to isolate the survivor. To counteract the isolation you suffered it is important to re-establish contact with friends, and to make new friends. It is well to remember, however, that others may be uncomfortable, for various reasons, with a separated person, and establishing contact may be difficult. But, it is important. It is also a very good idea to seek out a local support group, if such

exists, to keep you from feeling isolated. While you may not necessarily be depressed, the organisation AWARE has branches all over Ireland. As far as I am aware the Cashel branch meets every Monday. You will get more information about branches by ringing 053 918 4525. ∙ Educate yourself on domestic abuse. Hopefully these articles will go some way in this, but the sources quoted are worth looking at, because these articles are necessarily brief. ∙ Be creative. Keep a journal and write down your experiences of what has happened and how you feel. You can also use other creative activities such as art and poems. You may recall that I used poetry when I was going through bereavement following the death of my youngest child. You don’t have to be a good poet or a good artist. It is the process that counts. ∙ (Above all) pamper yourself, and re­ ward yourself. Buy something nice for yourself. It does not have to be expensive, perhaps a bubble bath or a new book. Why not a new outfit if you can afford it? ∙ Personalise yourself and your environ­ ment. In other words, change things. Paint a room, change your hairstyle; stamp your identity on your surroundings. Remember abuse often robs a person of their identity. ∙ Set realistic goals e.g. about socialis­ ing with others if you have moved far from where you lived. ∙ Make sure you have the number of a good friend that you can ring if you ever feel low. Know the phone number of the Samaritans. ∙ Be sure to have time for yourself and to take time out. If you learn to look after yourself you will be better able to look after your children, if you have any. ∙ Get plenty of exercise and fresh air. ∙ Make a tape of your favourite music. ∙ Have a holiday. You don’t necessarily have to travel abroad, but perhaps visit friends or family, and enjoy a change of scenery. ∙ Seek counselling. This will help you explore in a safe setting what happened to you, and will help you to heal and move on. Continued in next issue) Jim O’Shea works as a counsellor from Furze, Thurles.
