Domestic Violence
Healing Trauma: Counselling for Recovery and Growth
At Evolving Minds Counselling, we firmly believe in the fundamental right of every individual to live free from violence.
​
Domestic violence is a persistent pattern of aggressive, intimidating, or coercive behavior intended to assert control over another individual through fear. Its nature is typically chronic, characterised by fluctuations in severity and frequency over time.
​
This harmful pattern often manifests as cycles, alternating between periods of relative calm and episodes of tension and abuse. The abuser may follow these incidents with apologies, promises of change, or attempts to shift blame. This recurring cycle can be deeply emotionally draining for those experiencing the abuse and can have profound effects on a persons psychological well-being.
​
Abusive behavior can manifest in various forms, including emotional, financial, physical, psychological, sexual, social, and spiritual abuse.
