Practice selfcompassion from "summary" of Women with Controlling Partners by Carol A Lambert
When faced with controlling partners, it is crucial for women to prioritize their own well-being. One way to do this is by practicing self-compassion. This involves treating oneself with kindness, understanding, and patience, especially in moments of difficulty or distress. It means acknowledging one's own pain and suffering without self-criticism or judgment. Self-compassion also involves recognizing that everyone makes mistakes and experiences setbacks, and that it is a natural part of being human. By offering oneself the same care and compassion that one would offer to a friend in need, women can cultivate a sense of inner strength and resilience. In the face of controlling partners, it is common for women to internalize feelings of shame, guilt, and worthlessness. However, self-compassion can help counteract these negative beliefs by fostering a sense of self-worth and self-acceptance. It allows women to challenge the harmful messages they may have received from their partners and society at large. Practicing self-compassion also involves setting boundaries and prioritizing one's own needs and desires. This may involve saying no to unreasonable demands, seeking support from trusted friends or professionals, or engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfillment. By valuing oneself and honoring one's own worth, women can begin to break free from the cycle of control and manipulation.- Self-compassion is a powerful tool for healing and growth in the face of controlling partners. It allows women to reclaim their sense of agency, autonomy, and self-worth. By treating oneself with kindness and compassion, women can begin to break free from the chains of control and create a life based on self-respect and self-love.
