Beverly Engel Quote: “Many neglected and abused children grow up to be adults who are afraid to take risks of striking out on their own.

Beverly Engel Quote: “It is only when we feel deprived that we resent giving to others. Self-care does not mean you stop caring about others; it just means you start caring more about you. Start thinking about yourself more and others less. Since you have a choice between taking care of someone else, or giving to yourself, try choosing yourself sometimes.”

Beverly Engel Quote: “Some Survivors get angry at having to work at recovering from sexual abuse. They feel that it is unfair.

Beverly Engel Quote: “You can avoid the issues from abuse for only so long. Sooner or later, the problems in your life cause you to either face it or go deeper into denial.

Even then, the tendency will be to ‘forgive and forget’ in the belief that by doing so the pain will be assuaged.”

Beverly Engel Quote: “As a child you received messages from your family to keep your mouth shut and remain invisible. You also learned to become invisible in order to protect yourself.

Beverly Engel Quote: “Most survivors tend to be the care-giver rather than the care-receiver. We tend to be good at being spouses and parents, anticipating our loved ones needs, going the second mile when it came to self sacrifice. But seldom can we ask our loved ones to give to us. We fool ourselves into believing we don’t need much.”

Beverly Engel Quote: “The messages you received from your family or your childhood experiences may have caused you to believe that assertiveness is unacceptable or even dangerous.

Beverly Engel Quote: “Because of dissociation, many victims are able to remember the abuse only when a certain object, smell, color, scene, or experience triggers a sudden, severe reaction.

In a visual flashback, you actually see the scene of your abuse, or you may see an object or image that reminds you or is symbolic of your abuse.”

Beverly Engel Quote: “Some Survivors think that getting angry is inappropriate and a sign that a person is out of control. Others are afraid of anger, that of others, as well as their own.

But, allowing yourself to get angry and express your anger in constructive ways is one of the most healthy and empowering things you can do.”

Beverly Engel Quote: “Survivors who don’t stand up for themselves often develop physical and emotional illnesses.

Beverly Engel Quote: “This is particularly true of those who “love too much” and those who tend to lose themselves in their relationships. Sometimes our love becomes distorted by our feelings of insecurity and our fear of abandonment. This is the often the case with those who become overly controlling and overly smothering of their partner. Others become emotionally abusive because of their fear of intimacy.”

Beverly Engel Quote: “If you have the tendency to repress your anger, you have lost touch with an important part of yourself. Getting angry is a way to gain back that part of yourself by asserting your rights, expressing your displeasure with a situation, and letting others know how you wish to be treated. It can motivate you to make needed changes in a relationship or other areas of your life. Finally it can let others know that you expect to be respected and treated fairly.”

Beverly Engel Quote: “Compassion is the essence of self-esteem. When you have compassion for yourself, you understand and accept yourself the way you are. You tend to see yourself as basically good. If you make a mistake, you forgive yourself. You have reasonable expectations of yourself. You set attainable goals. Compassion is a skill. That means you can improve it if you already have it, or you can acquire it if you don’t.”
