He made me feel worthless, now I can’t move on

Hi Chris!

I’m 36 and recently left a six-year relationship. It started out well, but pretty soon my boyfriend started putting me down. He’d compliment other women, telling me and anyone who’d listen that they were beautiful, intelligent and sexy. He stopped complimenting me, and would constantly point out my insecurities, vulnerabilities and weaknesses. According to him, I was never good enough, and no matter what I do, his words still pop up in my head when I least expect them. I feel worthless, even though it’s been over a year since I left the relationship. What can I do?
