What is Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is a series of chronic controlling and manipulating behaviors that one partner uses to gain access and power over the other. These behaviors can include: physical violence and threats of violence, being financially controlling, religious abuse, sexual abuse, and mental/emotional abuse.
Signs of Mental and Emotional Abuse
Love Bombing or honeymoon phase
Trust and dependence phase
Criticism and Devaluation phase
Manipulation and Gaslighting phase
Resignation and Giving up phase
Loss of self phase
Emotional addiction to cycle of abuse
And this is how a trauma bond is formed.
The abuse cycle causes victims and survivors to stay in patterns of making up and false hope. This causes a heavy sense of denial about the abusive situation and creates a strong Codependent dynamic with the abuser that leads to an intense trauma bond. Trauma bonds are more intense than normal relationships, and make it more difficult to set boundaries and leave the abusive situation.
85% of women have been victims and/or survivors of domestic violence in their lifetime.
