Learn About the Negative Effects of Domestic Violence

There are often secondary effects of domestic abuse that many people don’t realize are related. For example, some people have a hard time sleeping or sleep all the time. Some people deal with anxiety, depression, and/or suicidal ideation. Many people dealing with these issues end up with sexual problems, difficulty trusting others, and a fear of being intimate.

Physical symptoms can result too, including aches and pains, infections in the bladder and / or kidney, issues with digestion, headaches, and even central nervous system problems. Once you know these issues are related to your abuse you can begin to deal with them in the appropriate way.

The Cycle of Abuse

Many people who’ve been in an abusive situation blame themselves. They think they should have left earlier, they think they did something to deserve it, or they simply feel that caused the abuse. The truth is that there’s a cycle of abuse most abusers go through: first they’re mad and they threaten, then they abuse their victims, and finally they apologize and swear they’ll never do it again. But they do. And they generally continue to do so until something is done to break that cycle. In many cases, the only way to break that cycle in your relationship is to leave it.

Someone who understands

★★★★★
In these tense and uncertain times, it’s really helpful to be able to talk to someone who I know shares similar experiences, can understand where I’m coming from, and can help me understand how to do the best I can to improve myself in my circumstances. Tia is a great listener with a gentle, calming demeanor. She knows how to laugh and how to really listen. She’s really helped me through some tough times and encouraged me throughout. Don’t know what I’d do without her!

Sandy has been very helpful

★★★★★
As first-generation immigrants we have a touch time raising kids in US. Being caught between two different cultures, our teenager daughter intuitively rejects parents' culture and is often unrespectful toward parents and her sibling. But we as parents have no relatives in US for counseling. Talking to Sandra has been very helpful as she instructed us how to communicate with our confused teenager, how to guide her through the difficult time. Thank you, Sandy!
