Understanding the Impact of Domestic Violence
Domestic violence can leave lasting physical, emotional, and psychological scars. Whether you are currently in an abusive situation or healing from past experiences, the effects of domestic violence can feel overwhelming and isolating. At Compassionate Healing, we are here to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can process your experiences, regain your strength, and take steps toward safety and healing.
If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, please call 911 or contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or text "START" to 88788. Their trained advocates are available 24/7 to provide confidential support and assistance.
Signs You May Need Support
Domestic violence can manifest in many ways, including physical, emotional, or psychological abuse. You may benefit from therapy if you are:
Experiencing fear or intimidation from a partner or family member
Feeling isolated, helpless, or trapped in your situation
Struggling with anxiety, depression, or PTSD as a result of abuse
Having difficulty trusting others or maintaining relationships
Navigating challenges after leaving an abusive situation
Coping with feelings of guilt, shame, or self-blame
Dealing with the impact of domestic violence on your children or loved ones
If these experiences resonate, therapy can provide the tools and support you need to heal and rebuild.
