    The example in the meme is a technique called redirection, and does not neglect aftercare. It just deescalates the situation to a safer level. Your example is more like emotional abuse, neglect, and more. I’m so sorry that happened to you, I hope you’ve been seen and heard and have a safe place now.

      Yeah, aftercare was certainly not part of the picture for this particular situation. The good news is that I made it out in one piece. I’m living the good life these days, and all the more grateful for it.
