Three factors determine how long does it take to heal from emotional abuse. If your husband betrayed you, here are the strategies to speed up the healing process so you can feel peace again.

1. Has His Emotional Abuse Stopped?

The first factor that affects how long it will take to heal from emotional abuse is to ensure that the emotional abuse has stopped. Emotional abuse includes various behaviors that come out of his exploitative privilege. If he thinks his “needs” and “rights” are more important than yours, chances are he’s emotionally abusive.

Is he currently doing any of the following?

• Lying
• Blaming you for things that aren’t your fault
• Stonewalling
• Criticizing
• Gaslighting
• Using pornography / infidelity

If the emotional abuse is currently happening, whether you’re still married, separated, or divorced, if his emotional abuse hasn’t stopped or you haven’t put enough distance between you and his abuse, your healing from it can’t begin.

2. Have You Learned How to Separate Yourself From His Emotional Abuse?

Healing from emotional abuse takes as long as you learn how to separate yourself from the abuse. If you have the right information, healing time can be significantly reduced.

The good news is, you’re strong and capable. The only thing holding you back has been having the correct framework for what’s been happening to you. It’s not your fault. No one teaches the public how to separate from emotional abuse.

The other good news is, you’ve come to the right place. Betrayal Trauma Recovery specializes in teaching women how to recognize emotional abuse and exactly what to do if you’re experiencing it.
