About

Abuse refers to deliberate acts of physical, emotional, or sexual violence that injure, manipulate, exploit, or demean another person. Abuse encompasses much more than outright physical aggression; it includes the arsenal of control tactics that abusers use to create power over their victims. These maneuvers may involve intimidation, withholding praise or affection, or manipulating the victim. This often leaves the victim feeling dependent upon the abuser and with feelings of guilt and self-blame.

Abuse counseling can help you identify situations that qualify as abuse and break free from cycles of abusive relationships, manage complex emotions associated with the abuse, and begin to rebuild trust in future relationships. Establishing a trusting relationship with a counselor can be the next step in your journey towards reclaiming your sense of self and building resiliency.
