Heal
The mental, emotional, and physical effects of psychological abuse wreak havoc on the body. The initial shock of a discard can lock the body in Fight or Flight mode, deregulating the nervous system. You may experience night sweats, panic attacks, paranoia, confusion. Chronic effects such as PTSD, autoimmune disorders, and depression may be experienced. None of this is fair. You did not deserve the abuse, nor the repercussions that follow. Yet, knowledge of the possible effects will help you understand them if and when they occur. You can remain in control of your mind and body, and be proactive in your healing. As soon as you GTFO and are secure, your nervous system will need a calm, safe, and trigger-free environment in which to stabilize.

Now, remember the evidence you collected? It's time to put it to use. The goal of The Escaped Goat is to reform psychological abuse laws. This requires voices and statements.
