Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, and it’s never too late to change.
Talk to a Mate
A problem shared is a problem halved. Chat to your mates about how you’ve been feeling. You can also connect with support groups specifically designed for people on a similar journey to you. Sharing your experiences and thoughts with others can help you to feel heard and understood, as well as boosting accountability and motivation. We offer group support sessions, as well as one-to-one sessions, as part of our support programmes.
Consider Emotional Management
Learn and practice effective emotional management techniques. Emotional management can help to give you healthier ways of expressing and coping with your emotions without resorting to abusive behaviour. Our specialist support can help you with this.
Do Things You Enjoy
Activities such as exercise, hobbies and socialising can help reduce stress levels, and will bring a more positive mindset. Filling your cup with positive experiences can make it easier to deal with triggers, negative emotions and stressful situations.
Check In With Yourself
Every now and then, reflect on how you’ve been doing, note any challenges you’ve had, any negative situations you’ve been in, and how you dealt with them. Think about what triggered you during these situations and whether you can avoid these in the future.
Join a Specialist Support Programme
Our range of support programmes can give you the tools and knowledge that you need to understand your behaviour, better manage your emotions, strengthen your relationships, and move on from your abusive behaviour for good. We can also support you with self-reflection and goal-setting. Click here to find out more about the support we offer, and the benefits from referring yourself to Freeva’s Jenkins Project.
Remember, this journey requires dedication and perseverance, but you’ve got this. We understand it can be hard, but seeking help is key to creating a more positive future for yourself. We can provide you with a judgment-free space to speak to someone about your feelings and experiences.
