Abusive Relationships
My niece is just coming out of an abusive relationship. Her boyfriend was physically violent and he worked hard to destroy what self esteem she had. He also introduced her to meth and but she has been working hard to get clean since they finally split up 2 months ago. She used to be such a bright and cheerful person and now she is so changed. She thinks so little of herself and she totally lacks in confidence. It’s like after a while she stated believing all of those terrible things he would say about her. I have been trying to get her to talk to someone like a therapist about what she’s been through and about how she can get back to the person she used to be. She says there’s nothing wrong with her and she doesn’t want to talk about it and she really doesn’t want to talk about it all with a stranger. So I don’t know what to do? I can see that she’s been started down a wrong path and I want the bubbly cheerful girl I know and love back again? Do you think Yoga or meditation or something like that might help her get balanced again. I am really hoping I can guide her or help her but I just don’t know what to say or do. I am hoping we can do something together, like take a class under the guise of it being just something fun to do but that it would actually be something that is designed to be therapeutic and helpful for her. Thank you very much, MJ
Read answer →Getting off Opiates
I am seriously considering doing iboga instead of getting back on Suboxone this time. I hear a lot of good things but I am little bit worried because everything good I read about the treatment seems to be written by someone who stands to make money by providing the drug and everything bad seems to be written by sources that are obviously prejudiced against anything other than the pharmaceutical industry brainwashed mainstream bull. It’s a lot of money but if it works it would be worth it for sure. So do you have any information on whether or not it’s a good thing to do to get off opiates?
