Can you provide detailed insights on the emotional healing process, the challenges faced, and practical steps to rebuild self-esteem and trust in future relationships?

Just put them behind you as much as possible , if they try to reach out to you? just ignore them and don’t speak to them at all , block them if you have to , try to focus on yourself and pretend they do not exist to you anymore , I know it’s easier said than done , but understand they shouldn’t mean shit to you anymore , spend more time with family and friends’ and focus on things that you enjoy that makes you happy , it will help keep your mind off of them , it’s ok to vent about them but try not
To vent about them to much. Also remember you are now single , so you can do whatever you want without answering to them whatsoever. Whether you want to date again or stay single , it’s up to you

Take as much time as you need. Dwell on it, cry as you much as you want, read the past conversations you both have and reminisce what’s good. Stop blaming the ex; the relationship is toxic accept that you both played a part on it. Only after you embrace all the pain then you’ll be ready to accept the reality. Soon, you’ll find yourself slowly moving forward.

This is the time you’ll set a goal. Doing things that you like and enjoy. Work out with yourself physically and mentally. Find out your interests such as; working out, reading, learning a new language or an instrument. Whatever your desire! Go for it! You’ll realize your value and will shine which will attract people like you.

Hope this helps.

Not sure there is any true path for everyone dealing with these issues. Realize it is over and it was tragic, but get up remember what happened to cause your issues and stay away from that path again. Stick close to your real friends who likely tried helping in the past and realize there is a big world out there and has some very good choices for everyone if you look for it.

When you have the confidence and the motivation, nothing is easier. You just get on with life.

Very easily. If you have been in one long enough you have already had your heart broken, dreams shattered, and have come to the realization that it won’t work out. By the time you have reached the decision to leave, you will have already passed the point of mourning the death of the relationship. Mourning is healing.

Always enter into a new relationship with the idea you are going to be disappointed. Don’t allow yourself to make your new partner pay for your ex’s transgressions. Figure out a way to provoke your new partner early in the relationship and see how they respond. Just don’t make it a habit. Both parties are always on their best behavior at the beginning so it is imperative that you find out who they truly are early on. Then you can slowly drop your guard. Example: find that one little thing that they do regularly, something that really doesn’t bother you, and make it a big deal. Don’t be afraid you will run them off. If you do, then good. There then lies one of the disappointments you expected. It is up to you if you want to sleep with them before or after you provoke them.

Another example would be to block their number before you sleep with them to test their psychological state of mind. Do they try contacting you from another phone number, do they show up at your job, do they look for you where you hang out. When they do any of those, are they furious with you and start calling you ugly names or physically threaten you.

You need to find out all this before you do get physically and emotionally invested.

Take a deep breath, write down every abusive thing and the insecurities they caused. Then go through the process of reducing/overcoming the damage caused by the abuse, before dating again.

I have never had one, but I would see what I disliked, refuse to ever accept that again. I would then recognize that just because the former partner sucked that does not mean the next one will and it would be unfair to that person to assume the worst. Then I'd move on and not look back.

piece of cake.
Just get busy with your life, put the pieces back together and someday when the time is right you will be able to move on.
It's possible that some professional help could also help you along.

First, be glad you got off the train before it derailed in flames. Because that's where toxic relationships always go.
