5 types of relationship abuse You should be aware of and What can you do?
welcome to lifestyle therapy channel, stay tuned.
No.1, Physical abuse.
This is the type of abuse that many people think of, when they hear the word 'abuse.'
It can include punching, hitting, slapping, kicking, strangling, or physically restraining
a partner against their will.
It can also include driving recklessly, or invading someone's physical space, and in
any other way, making someone feel physically unsafe.
No.2, Emotional abuse.
Emotional abuse is perhaps the vaguest type of abuse, to which an individual can be exposed.
Emotional pain and hurt, are not uncommon in relationships, it is human to feel negative
emotions in response to arguments, or unpleasant events in a relationship.
While it is natural to feel emotional responses, it is not healthy or natural to feel as if
your thoughts, feelings, and emotions are regularly threatened by your loved one.
Emotional abuse, is a consistent denial of your right to express your feelings.
It is a violation or ridicule of your most important values and beliefs.
Some warning signs that you may be experiencing this type of abuse are:
Withholding of approval, or support as a form of punishment,
Criticism, belittling, name calling, and yelling, Regular threats to leave or being told to
leave, Invasions of privacy, and Elimination of support,
by preventing contact with friends and family.
No.3, Mental or Psychological abuse.
Mental or psychological abuse happens when one partner, through a series of actions or
words, wears away at the other's sense of mental wellbeing and health.
It often involves making the victim doubt their own sanity.
We've heard stories of abusers deliberately moving car keys, or a purse, dimming the lights,
and flat-out denying that certain things had taken place.
The result of this, especially over a sustained period of time, and often with the isolation
that abusers also tend to use, is that the victim depends on the abuser more and more,
because they don't trust their own judgment.
They also hesitate to tell anyone about the abuse they're experiencing, for fear they
won't be believed.
No.4, Sexual Abuse.
Sexual abuse is when someone forces you, into unwanted sexual activity, especially through
threats or coercion.
In a healthy sexual relationship, you shouldn't feel threatened, pressured, or uncomfortable
with your partner.
If you feel these negative emotions, it is likely that you are being abused.
No.5, Control.
"Abusive relationships", brings to mind physical violence.
At the same time, many forms of abuse don't leave bruises.
Attempts to control a partner's behavior, friends, finances, or activities, is often
the first sign of an abusive situation, and may be a precursor to violence.
Abusers tend to isolate their victims, and chip away at their self-esteem until he or
she, becomes the only person in the victim's world.
Control may be attempted by using threats, anger, or excessive criticism.
What can you do?
If you are experiencing characteristics of unhealthy relationships, do not be afraid
to ask for help.
Be sure to have a trusted friend, or family member on whom you can rely.
It is not weak, or embarrassing to ask for help when you need it.
And trust your instincts!
If you feel uneasy about going home, or fearful of your spouse or partner, take steps to ensure
your safety.
This could include having a friend with you upon returning home, so you are not alone,
or, in severe circumstances, going to the home of a loved one, or to a domestic violence
shelter, rather than going home.
Above all else, know you are not alone!
If you are experiencing the characteristics of abuse, there are those who can help and
support you.
While reaching out can seem like an impossible and perhaps dangerous task, know there is
help ready and waiting for you
