Domestic violence therapy is a specialized form of counseling that helps victims and their families heal from abusive relationships. It is a crucial component of the broader efforts to address and combat domestic violence, a pattern of abusive behaviors within intimate relationships that can encompass physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, or economic abuse.
In domestic violence therapy, therapists create a safe and supportive environment. Domestic violence therapy is often part of a broader support network that includes legal assistance, shelters, and community resources. Its aim is to break the cycle of abuse, promote safety, and foster healthier relationships.
Domestic violence therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Domestic violence therapy can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, depending on the individual’s exact needs and preferences.
Domestic abuse can have lifelong effects for those who don’t seek counseling. The initial feelings during or after abuse often include isolation, fear, anger, and embarrassment. Domestic abuse counseling can help you move past these feelings and through longer-term consequences as well.
There’s no question that the actual abuse is painful and difficult but there can be symptoms you don’t recognize as part of the cycle of abuse. Victims often feel anxious and can even develop posttraumatic stress. Remember that these conditions can feel different than you expect. They could show themselves as chest pains, aches and pains, and sweating. They can mimic the symptoms you’d have if you were having a heart attack.
If you’re having chest pains or other pains that worry you, the right next move is to contact your physician. However, once they’ve ruled out a problem with your heart and have confirmed that you’re dealing with anxiety and / or panic disorders, then it’s time to speak to a counselor. There may be a medication that can help in the short-term but to move forward long-term, counseling is your best bet.
There can be other side effects of domestic abuse including depression, suicidal thoughts, sexual issues, fear of emotional or physical intimacy, and a tendency to keep people in their life at arm’s distance. These symptoms can impact ever relationship in your life. They can make it hard to develop or maintain relationships with family, friends, and co-workers.
The good news is that there is help. Thriveworks Charlotte Counseling & Coaching is your next step. Let us walk you through this frightening process. While it may feel overwhelming to handle these issues on your own, when you have the help of an experienced counselor it will be less scary and you’ll have a clear path forward.
