Healing Affirmations For Emotional Abuse Victims – Using Words Of Love

Have you experienced emotional abuse from your husband? Maybe in the form of sexual betrayal. If so, here are five affirmations for emotional abuse victims.

Say out loud: I AM ENOUGH

2. People Have To Earn My Trust & Love

Many victims are conditioned to give unconditional trust and love. This affirmation encourages survivors to set boundaries and engage only in healthy relationships. Saying PEOPLE HAVE TO EARN MY TRUST AND LOVE empowers victims to take control of their emotional well-being.
