Are You or Are You Not


Are You or Are You Not:

An Emotional Abuser 
OR 
A Person who is Emotionally Abused?



       To truly appreciate emotional abuse (any act including confinement, isolation, verbal assault, humiliation, intimidation, or any other treatment which may diminish the sense of identity, dignity, and self-worth) we need to understand that there are different kinds of abuse.
  • Discriminatory abuse.
  • Financial abuse.
  • Neglect.
  • Physical abuse.
  • Psychological and emotional abuse.
  • Sexual abuse.
  • Verbal abuse.

I realize that emotional abuse takes place predominantly with individuals who have low self-esteem and self-confidence.  These individuals are normally trapped when trying to satisfy a need or a desire to be loved.

LOVE is not blind but NEED is.

          While symptoms of Emotional Abuse can be seen; the characteristics of an Emotional Abuser is not visible.

          Do you know why an individual who is emotionally abused stays with their abuser?  My assumption is because they love the individual and hopes indefinitely that they would change; their concept of love is warped and also because the abuser satisfies some type of need(s).

          I realize that from the outside looking in we see ABUSE but the abuser from the inside looking out see LOVE or a NEED(S) being satisfied.

          My conclusion to assist these types of individuals’ deals with our ability to (while gaining their trust) assists in improving their self-worth and self-confidence by showing them how to grow themselves.

Nugget From My Past - Dr. Chris Mitchell

Image
Hi everyone, I just want to share a story from my past with you.    Straight out of school as a young girl I formed a Sports club.  This club consisted of youths from my community who participated in Netball, Football, Basketball and even Table tennis.  We played at a competitive level, and won many games and trophies.  From an early age I loved and cared for people and believed that 'teamwork makes the dream work!' I guess I was an ' influencer'  from an early age!   Life has a way of playing jokes on us -  imagine, I am in business developing and influencing positive change in others! Today I help people develop themselves overall, in many different areas such as goal setting, building confidence, self-esteem, and life skills. Thank you for listening, I look forward to your thoughts and comments Stay blessed and stay focused Connect with me;  Email :  traininganchor2017@gmail.com  Phone:   868-306-7291; 868-784-0529   Facebook

Is It Possible To Change Someone?

Image
No one has the power to change someone.  The ability for change from a human perspective is within all of us. It is a myth that one person can change the thinking of another based on social and cultural norms. In reality the power of influence can be given credit for changing the position of another. In relationships there is a need for acceptance, love and to be needed. Sometimes this desire for emotional connection can push an individual to accept "God complex behavior".  We are not, nor can we ever be, God to someone!  As sated above the power to change must come from within the individual. I tried to change someone I cared about and it did not work.  My persistent efforts did not work because the individual did not have a desire to change in the way I wanted.  When the individual did not change as I wished, I felt sick within because I did not get my way. That was selfish.   A friend told me "Don't mistake myself for God in anyone's life&quo

A Piece of my Present - Dr. Chris Mitchell

Image
Thinking About The Present I just disrupted my life, I changed jobs. I went from a wave of mixed emotions to feeling fantastic! The enormity of the emotions which came with the changes were - fear, joy,  uncertainty , relief, sadness, release & anticipation.  I went from receiving a salary to pulling all my skills together. What a reality check for me ... keeping it real. Based on what  I’ve learnt from this experience there are two things that I wish to share:   Change is the only constant in life.   Jesus Christ remains the same.
