| Description |
For a person who has been in an abusive or oppressive relationship to move forward and heal, they need to find their purpose in life and rebuild their self-identity. As a person who has been through an Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) relationship, in this study, I have investigated my narrative, interviews of people that have known me before, during, and after my relationship, journal entries, and some of my university papers to demonstrate the whole picture from oppression to recovery. The analysis of the materials reveals a progression from a victim of a broken identity to a recovering empowered teacher. The progression is broken down into three main parts: Key Learnings, reveals my distorted identity; Empowering Actions, uncovers key tools of healing and putting my identity back together; and Becoming A Better Teacher And Empowering My Students, illustrates that finding my purpose in life as a teacher has allowed me to use what I learned from being in and recovering from an IPV relationship to empower myself and my students. |
