Domestic Violence - Something Can be Done

What makes sufferers of Domestic Violence stay in a violent relationship?

Many sufferers feel they have nowhere else to turn. After being with a violent and abusive partner, they have such low self-esteem they can’t fathom what it feels like to deserve something better. The memories of violent and abusive real life events are so deeply ingrained that this effects judgement, and what seems to others like an unacceptable lifestyle begins to seem normal to sufferers.

At times victims have grown up in a violent household, watching their own family members suffer in this way, therefore they don’t know how to live any other way. Love and violence become so intertwined that one equals the other on a subconscious level. Life becomes a constant rollercoaster of violence and arguments, peppered with periods of trying to pacify their partner and the occasional affectionate moment.

Victims are often ashamed, and go to great lengths to hide their problems from family and friends. There have been recent rises in cases where the abuse of males at the hands of females occurs. Typically, male sufferers will invent any number of excuses for bruises, scars and cuts to cover up what’s really going on to their colleagues, family and friends.

“There are many wonderful things about this treatment. It’s highly effective with changing how anyone feels about anything, which is essential when I’m working with someone to rebuild their self-worth and create a new-found self-esteem. Another amazing thing about the treatment is that we can measure the results as we go along, so we know we’re on the right tracks. It’s amazing seeing the transformation in people, men and women alike”.
