Emotional abuse is the drug and you are the addict!

Do you know what the signs of emotional or psychological abuse are? 

 I didn’t. 

Did you know you could compare the push pull attraction in a domestic abuse situation to a drug addiction? Cortisol, which is adrenaline, dopamine, oxytocin all are part of this complex cocktail of hormones. 

The fight or flight system and these hormones which are perfectly normal in the correct amounts can cause a cycle of self-trauma as well as the need to stay connected to the abuser. For your next hit!

For those of you who don’t know me I’m Annette and I have spent the last 25 years working on becoming a better human.. I did not now that I had trauma or triggers! I was a teen mom overachiever, perfectionist, self-proclaimed OCD and very successful business woman. I spent my life from about the age of 26 until 48 single, dating, and living this toxic cycle that we can get into on another video. I recently wrote a book about how to recognize emotional abuse and how to begin the process of healing. If you have not read it.. I highly recommend you do.
