| family violence |
Spousal – or domestic – abuse is not a single form of maltreatment. It comprises various abusive behaviors – sexual, emotional, psychological, financial, physical, and verbal – when they are directed at the abuser’s spouse, mate, girlfriend, or boyfriend.
Common questions include: What am I doing to make this happen? Why can’t I just leave? What effects is this having on my children?
Therapy offers a safe place to look into these questions. A trusted and experienced therapist can help you learn skills to protect yourself and your family. Ideally, after a period of recovery work, the survivor will self-mobilize and emerge from the experience more resilient and assertive and less gullible and self-deprecating.
