We understand that any forme of violence has roots on other unsolved personal issues which may be carried from childhood or accumulated during the years from stressful situation. The emotional imbalance that they leave may come out in the form of anger and/or violence toward others. Our program provides one-on-one sessions in a non-judgemental environment therefore offering a better opportunity to work on issues in a deeper level. To better ourselves which will result in bettering relationships we must first understand ourselves, who we are. And to do so we need to acknowledge and understand our emotions, our expectations, our goals and our actions.
Getting away from an abusive relationship can be incredibly difficult for many reasons
Fear
The victim may be afraid of the abuser and what they may do if they try to leave. This fear can be justified, as leaving an abusive relationship can be a dangerous time for the victim.
Isolation
The abuser may have isolated the victim from friends and family, making it difficult for the victim to seek help and support.
Financial dependence
The victim may be financially dependent on the abuser and may fear that they will not be able to support themselves or their children if they leave.
Emotional dependence
The abuser may have created an emotional dependence on the victim, making it difficult for the victim to leave the relationship.
Shame
The victim may feel ashamed of the abuse and may fear judgment or blame from others.
Lack of support
The victim may not have access to resources such as shelters, counselling, or legal aid that can help them leave the abusive relationship.
Love
The victim may still have feelings of love or attachment to the abuser, despite the abuse.
In addition to these resources, creating a strong support network of trusted friends and family can provide emotional and practical assistance. Legal resources, such as restraining orders and legal aid, can offer protection and help navigate the legal system. Self-care practices, including therapy, mindfulness, and physical activities, can aid in healing and rebuilding one’s life. Remember, no one should face this journey alone, and numerous resources are available to assist every step of the way.
