Recovery from Abusive Groups Page 63
Epilogue
I hope this handbook has been of some help to you and your family and friends.
It has meant a lot to me to share my struggles with you. Mine has been a very
long and often extremely difficult journey. Learning to trust again takes lots of
practice.
I hope you will keep at the process of recovery, continuing to heal and grow into
the person you want to become. Don't ever give up! Take a breather now and
then as needed, but continue to focus on what values and goals are important
to you. And, please don't get too discouraged. There is beauty all around and
your life can still make a difference in this world. Let the beauty and mystery of
Life inspire and soothe you.
Work on setting realistic expectations of yourself and of others. This can be very
hard to do. Keep testing expectations. Each person and situation is different.
Have you reviewed your expectations of a particular person for a particular
situation? If you are frustrated too often, the cause may be an overlooked
unrealistic expectation or a hidden myth.
Keep a lookout for any subtle, residual thought-control cobwebs. Consider
reworking the materials on some sort of regular basis for several years. Residual
controls and influences can be hard to ferret out.
Good luck and best wishes for a healthy and fulfilling life. You have so much to
offer. I will be cheering for you.
