Therapy for Domestic Violence Survivors

Are you struggling with the effects of domestic violence?

Right now, you may be experiencing:

 

  • Lingering fear, anxiety, or hypervigilance, even after leaving the abusive relationship
  • Intrusive memories, nightmares, or flashbacks of abusive incidents
  • Difficulty trusting others, especially in intimate relationships
  • Feelings of shame, guilt, or self-blame related to the abuse
  • Low self-esteem or a damaged sense of self-worth
  • Symptoms of PTSD or C-PTSD, including depression, anxiety, dissociation, or emotional numbness
  • Physical symptoms related to chronic stress or injuries sustained during the abuse
  • Challenges navigating practical issues like safety planning, legal proceedings, or financial independence

You’re realizing that the domestic violence you survived is still getting in the way of your life:

  • Fear and trauma symptoms prevent you from feeling safe or moving forward
  • You struggle to form healthy, trusting relationships, perhaps repeating unhealthy patterns or avoiding intimacy altogether
  • Your self-confidence is shattered, impacting your ability to pursue work, education, or personal goals
  • You feel isolated, misunderstood, or judged by others who don’t grasp the complexity of domestic violence
  • Coping with the emotional and psychological aftermath feels overwhelming
  • You may minimize the abuse or struggle to recognize its full impact

You’re wondering…

  • Will I ever feel safe again?
  • Can I heal from the trauma and betrayal I experienced?
  • How can I learn to trust myself and others after being manipulated and controlled?
  • Is it possible to rebuild my self-esteem and sense of worth?
  • How do I break the cycle of abuse and build healthy relationships in the future?
  • Where can I find support and understanding?

You’re longing for…

  • A life free from fear, where you feel safe, secure, and empowered.
  • Healing from the deep emotional and psychological wounds of abuse.
  • The ability to trust wisely and build healthy, respectful relationships.
  • A restored sense of self-worth, confidence, and agency.
  • Freedom from the intrusive memories and trauma symptoms.
  • Hope for a future defined by resilience, strength, and peace.
