” Whether you’ve experienced a single traumatic event – an accident, a devastating loss, an assault, a medical diagnosis –or chronic abuse and trauma, these things stick with you, very often for the long haul.
Imagine waking up with energy. You didn’t struggle to fall asleep. You didn’t wake up throughout the night. You didn’t have nightmares. You got through the night without flashbacks, without going over and over the past in your mind. You’d wake up and get out of bed. And because you didn’t feel like you ran a marathon overnight, you’d greet the day with peace and contentment… Even excitement for all the things you can accomplish, since you aren’t weighed down by exhaustion, anxiety, or depression. You wouldn’t be so worried about all the potential triggers… All of the things you could come across in a day that could bring you right

Domestic Abuse Therapists

What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?

Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?

Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?

Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?

It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
