Understanding your abuser, though, simply means you understand that person operates in a very dysfunctional way, probably because of problems in their own past.
What if understanding your abuser could actually help you heal? In this thought-provoking episode, Cynthia Bailey-Rug dives into the crucial difference between understanding the motivations behind abusive behavior and justifying the abuse itself. She makes it clear that while gaining insight into your abuser's actions can foster emotional recovery, it should never be confused with excusing or tolerating their harmful behavior.
Cynthia shares her own experiences with her abusive parents, revealing how she managed to develop a sense of pity for them without falling back into the trap of accepting their abuse. Prayer played a significant role in her healing journey, and she encourages listeners to find what works best for them on their own paths to recovery. If you're navigating the complex waters of abuse recovery, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice.
