Slide 1

đź§± When Criticism Becomes the Norm

If every convo turns into blame, or you’re always being told you’re not enough — that’s not just conflict. That’s a red flag.

Slide 2

🗣️ Words Can Hurt

When someone’s comments make you feel small, ashamed, or like you’re never good enough — that’s not love. That’s damage.

Slide 3

🧠 Emotional Abuse Isn’t Always Obvious

No bruises.

No yelling.

But the pain? It still hits — just on the inside.

Slide 4

🚨 Recognizing It Takes Strength

Not drama. Just clarity — and courage.

Slide 5

🛑 Set the Boundary

If it’s breaking you down, it’s time to speak up, reach out, and take your space.

Slide 6

🤝 Solid Relationships Build You Up

Respect. Care. Space to grow — not shrink.

Slide 7

💪 Love shouldn’t tear you down.

It should have your back.

I actually did not know what programs were available in my community. Now that I have connected with a local non profit counselling service I feel so much more empowered to get through all this emotional stuff.
