Domestic Violence
Domestic violence (also known as domestic abuse)
can involve physical, emotional and/or sexual abuse. Usually, it happens with
someone you are close to, either within a couple relationship or family
setting. This type of abuse can affect anyone, regardless of ages, gender or
social background.
Recognising Signs of Abuse
Educating yourself on the different ways abuse can manifest is an
important first step in changing your situation. You don’t have to live like
this.
1. verbal abuse and
criticism (shouting, name-calling, threatening, mocking)
2. guilt/pressuring
tactics (threatening self-harm or suicide, taking away your phone/laptop,
threatening to call the authorities on you, lying to friends and family about
you)
3. putting you down
(disrespecting you in front of others, not listening or responding to you when
you talk)
4. isolation (monitoring
or blocking your connection with others, stopping you from leaving the house,
telling you where you can and cannot go)
5. lying to you
(breaking promises, having affairs, often blaming you)
6. threats (physically
or verbally threatening you)
A Counsellor can work with you at any
stage of your journey, whether you’re out of the relationship or still in it.
