The NCADV aims to increase awareness of domestic violence issues and support domestic violence victims and survivors. The organization is also engaged in advocacy work to ask for legislation and law enforcement changes that can help to hold abusers accountable while providing necessary support for victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Domestic violence is a national mental health issue because 33% of women and 25% of men have experienced intimate partner violence. Victims of domestic violence have an<a href=\"https:\/\/apps.who.int\/iris\/bitstream\/handle\/10665\/85239\/9789241564625_eng.pdf;jsessionid=D85C66BB83D5C9C972E153402667AA9C?sequence=1\"> increased risk of developing<\/a> conditions that impact their mental health, such as low self-esteem, chronic pain, disability, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and alcohol, tobacco, or drug abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leaving an abusive relationship is often only a tiny part of domestic abuse survivors&#8217; battle. They battle the stigma associated with being the \u201cone who stayed\u201d and often struggle financially immediately after leaving the relationship. The lack of resources combined with a fear of judgment can keep survivors and victims stuck far longer than they would otherwise stay. This blog will help uncover some truths about domestic violence, help you spot warning signs, and give you resources if you or a loved one need help to leave a violent relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8 Truths About <\/strong><strong>Domestic Violence<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Domestic violence comes in many forms and can affect anyone. Victims of domestic violence can be confident and independent people. Victims and abusers come from all age groups, all communities, all education, economic levels, all cultures, ethnicities, and religions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even with all the advancements in understanding domestic violence, a stigma still exists that prevents many victims from reaching out for help or leaving the relationship. In the spirit of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we\u2019re spreading some truths about domestic violence to reduce stigma and increase access to helpful resources and healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Abusers Want Control<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hallmark of an abusive relationship is an abuser who uses various methods to attempt to control their partner. The controlling behavior abusers can include any behavior meant to isolate, dehumanize, intimidate, threaten or coerce their partner. Domestic violence can include violent behavior, the threat of violence, and even verbal abuse. All forms of domestic violence affect the victim\u2019s mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Isolation is Dangerous<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1658450314-min.jpg 750w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1658450314-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1658450314-min-18x12.jpg 18w\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1658450314-min.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"person putting their hand up to stop someone\" class=\"wp-image-4691 lazyload\"    sizes=\"(max-width: 316px) 100vw, 316px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1658450314-min.jpg\" alt=\"person putting their hand up to stop someone\" class=\"wp-image-4691\" width=\"316\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1658450314-min.jpg 750w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1658450314-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1658450314-min-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 316px) 100vw, 316px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abusers often attempt first to isolate their partner. They may forbid their partner from seeing certain friends or family members, limit their access to social media, or deny them access to medical care. Isolating behaviors can start with snooping through their partner\u2019s phone, questioning them about relationships with co-workers, and being overly possessive in ways that may feel normal, depending on how the victim is raised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A partner who attempts to isolate you is not loving. Healthy relationships involve people who have their own lives, friends, and priorities and choose to build a life together. This behavior typically escalates to name-calling and even violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. It\u2019s Easy to Miss Red Flags<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The red flags that indicate the beginnings of intimate partner violence are often subtle. An abuser attempting to see what they can \u201cget away with\u201d may start out saying they\u2019re just so jealous when you talk to other people because they fear you\u2019ll leave them. That can feel like love, even though it isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Red flags can also be easy for a victim\u2019s loved ones to miss. Someone victimized by domestic violence may stop participating in their favorite activities, avoid social situations, seem anxious and check their phone often when they are away from their partner. The biggest red flag is any behavior change, and often, having a friend, or family member ask if everything is okay is all it takes for a victim to ask for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Domestic Violence<\/strong><strong> is Cyclical<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abusive relationships involve patterns of behavior that include control and violence, as well as times of calm attentiveness. Often, an increase in tension follows times of relative peace. The tension increases until the abuser peaks with abuse. This abuse is usually more severe than previous episodes, and the cycle becomes more intense over time. Abusers use a variety of tactics during the increase in tension to maintain power and control over their victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>There Are Many Types of Domestic Abuse<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Domestic violence comes in many forms, but every form can affect a victim\u2019s mental health. Often, abusive relationships involve more than one of these types of domestic violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emotional abuse is behavior that intentionally harms a person\u2019s self-worth. This type of abuse may include<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Using name-calling, humiliation, or constant criticism that affects your self-worth.<\/li><li>Acting in a jealous or possessive manner.<\/li><li>Attempting to isolate you.<\/li><li>Monitoring your whereabouts and communication.<\/li><li>Withholding affection as punishment.<\/li><li>Threatening to hurt you, your children, your family, or your pets.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Economic abuse limits a victim\u2019s access to money and assets. Financial Abuse may include<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_216422881-min.jpg 750w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_216422881-min-300x268.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_216422881-min-13x12.jpg 13w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_216422881-min.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"how to stop violence checklist\" class=\"wp-image-4693 lazyload\"    sizes=\"(max-width: 351px) 100vw, 351px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_216422881-min.jpg\" alt=\"how to stop violence checklist\" class=\"wp-image-4693\" width=\"351\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_216422881-min.jpg 750w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_216422881-min-300x268.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_216422881-min-13x12.jpg 13w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 351px) 100vw, 351px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Preventing a victim from going to work or harassing them at work to affect their performance.<\/li><li>Demanding the victim quit their job.<\/li><li>Preventing their victim from accessing family funds.<\/li><li>Forcing victims to hand over paychecks and other income.<\/li><li>Putting all resources in only their name.<\/li><li>Withholding necessities such as hygiene products and food.<\/li><li>Taking out credit cards or loans in the victim\u2019s name.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Physical Abusers may<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Throw objects, punch walls, kick doors, or engage in other destructive behaviors when angry.<\/li><li>Use physical violence like pushing, hitting, biting, kicking, burning, or choking.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Drive recklessly when angry to scare you.<\/li><li>Use weapons.<\/li><li>Make you leave your home, or trap you inside the house.<\/li><li>Prevent you from seeking medical attention.<\/li><li>Hurt your children.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sexual Abuse may include<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Frequent jealousy or accusing you of cheating.<\/li><li>Making you dress a certain way.<\/li><li>Using sexual insults.<\/li><li>Forcing you to perform sexual acts or sexual assault<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Demanding sexual acts when you are sick or after beating you.<\/li><li>Using weapons or objects to hurt you during sex.<\/li><li>Forcing you to engage in sexual activities with other people.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Psychological Abuse may include<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Intimidation.<\/li><li>Threatening physical harm to loved ones.<\/li><li>Destroying victims\u2019 pets and property.<\/li><li>Playing \u201cmind games,\u201d gaslighting, and trying to make the victim feel \u201ccrazy.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Domestic Violence Escalates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abuse can escalate in intensity, or from one type to another. It\u2019s common for controlling behavior to become psychological and physical or sexual abuse. The escalation of abuse can happen suddenly in response to an event (or for no reason). Escalation can also be gradual. It\u2019s common for abuse victims to feel surprised by the escalation because they don\u2019t think their partner is capable of more intense abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Domestic Violence Can Happen to Anyone<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People once thought intimate partner violence only happened to women in heterosexual relationships. The truth is that domestic violence victims are male, female, and nonbinary. They are in heterosexual relationships, homosexual relationships, and both monogamous and nonmonogamous relationships. Abusers also come in all genders and sexual orientations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Leaving Isn\u2019t Easy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1289447788-min.jpg 750w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1289447788-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1289447788-min-18x12.jpg 18w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1289447788-min.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"woman upset with hand over head while a man berates her\" class=\"wp-image-4694 lazyload\"    sizes=\"(max-width: 341px) 100vw, 341px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1289447788-min.jpg\" alt=\"woman upset with hand over head while a man berates her\" class=\"wp-image-4694\" width=\"341\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1289447788-min.jpg 750w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1289447788-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1289447788-min-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 341px) 100vw, 341px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abusers in intimate relationships go to great lengths to make leaving complex for their victims. They isolate them from friends and family, so a support system isn\u2019t available to help them. They withhold financial resources so the abuse victim cannot afford to support themselves if they leave. They threaten death or physical injury to the victim, children, and pets with violence or death if they leave. Many victims stay because these threats are real. Separation<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ojp.gov\/pdffiles1\/nij\/181867.pdf\"> is often a precursor<\/a> to deadly violence from the abuser. In addition to these factors, abuse victims may choose to stay because of<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The difficulties of single parenting.<\/li><li>A pattern of behavior that leads to hope and love intermingled with the abuse and intimidation of the relationship.<\/li><li>A lack of knowledge of or access to support.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/es\/how-to-deal-with-uncertainty-in-life-love-and-career\/\">A fear<\/a> of losing custody of children.<\/li><li>A lack of means to support themselves because of a lack of access to cash, bank accounts, or assets.<\/li><li>Not having anywhere to go.<\/li><li>Religious or cultural beliefs and practices.<\/li><li>Reluctance by prosecutors to prosecute cases of domestic abuse.<\/li><li>The rationalization of the abuser&#8217;s behavior as caused by stress, alcohol, trouble at work, etc.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Trauma Can Take Years to Recover From<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Domestic violence is trauma. Recovering from trauma can involve intense fear, numbness, <a href=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/es\/what-is-the-difference-between-shame-and-guilt\/\">shame, anger,<\/a> or other upsetting and traumatic emotions. Survivors feel these emotions and also may feel a pull to return to the relationship. Getting the proper support, at the right intensity is vital to making a recovery and building a healthy future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Seek Help From a Therapist With Experience Guiding <\/strong><strong>Domestic Violence<\/strong><strong> Survivors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1275255412-min.jpg 750w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1275255412-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1275255412-min-18x12.jpg 18w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1275255412-min.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"woman's face and mouth covered by someone's hand\" class=\"wp-image-4692 lazyload\"    sizes=\"(max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1275255412-min.jpg\" alt=\"woman&#039;s face and mouth covered by someone&#039;s hand\" class=\"wp-image-4692\" width=\"327\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1275255412-min.jpg 750w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1275255412-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_1275255412-min-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At SMPsychotherapy and Counseling Services, many of our providers have experience working with survivors of domestic violence.
