Personal Journey After Abuse - Lessons, Mistakes and Growth.

Nobody talks about this part… The part where you leave… but mentally, you’re still not free. The part where you’re healing… but still making mistakes. The part where you question your worth… even after surviving. In this episode of TalksWithMiah, we get real about what healing after abuse actually looks like, raw, messy, and honest. If you’ve ever felt like you’re moving forward but still hurting… this is for you. 💛

Why am I NOT okay now that I'm safe?

In this episode, I am talking about something many survivors silently struggle with, feeling “not okay” even after the abuse has ended. Why do emotions hit harder when you’re finally safe? Why do some days feel strong and hopeful, and others feel heavy and exhausting? Healing is not linear. Trauma doesn’t just disappear because the danger is gone. Your mind may know you’re safe, but your body can still be catching up. In this episode, I’m breaking down the reality of survival mode, delayed pain, nervous system responses, and why rest is not weakness, it’s part of recovery. If you’ve ever questioned yourself for struggling after leaving, this conversation is for you. You are not broken. You are healing. And both strength and softness can exist at the same time. Talks with Miah. Encouraging, empowering, and supporting survivors of domestic abuse and violence.

Dating after Abuse - Learning You Are Still Worthy Of Love.

Dating after Abuse can feel overwhelming, confusing, and even unsafe. In this episode of talkswithmiah, I explore the emotional impact Abuse has on self-worth, relationships, and the ability to trust again. I discuss the tactics abusers use, such as love bombing, manipulation, emotional conditioning, and control, and how these experiences can leave survivors feeling unworthy of love long after the relationship ends. This episode sheds light on why survivors may struggle with intimacy, fear vulnerability, or feel drawn to familiarity rather than peace. Most importantly, this conversation offers reassurance and support to anyone who feels discouraged, broken, or undeserving of healthy love. Healing doesn’t follow a set path, but it is possible, and you are still worthy of love, safety, and consistency. This episode is created to spread awareness, encourage healing, and remind victims and survivors that they are not alone.

Why do Abuser's Abuse?

In this episode, we dive deep into the question many survivors ask: Why do Abusers Abuse? We explore the root causes behind abusive behaviour, from control, insecurity, and learned patterns, to emotional immaturity and deep-seated psychological issues. This episode sheds light on the mindset of abusers, the tactics they use to maintain power, and how manipulation becomes their weapon of choice. Understanding the “why” doesn’t excuse their actions, it empowers survivors to recognise the red flags, break free from the cycle, and begin to heal.
