Family Violence
You're ready to work through the traumatic impact of family violence in your life.
Imagine your 7 year old self. You’re happily watching cartoons on TV. All of a sudden, you hear your parents yelling at each other.
You don’t know what they’re arguing about. And instead of watching the cartoon, you end up frozen and anxious, listening to your parents screaming.
This is the reality for many of us, who grew up in a high-conflict home. Whether the family abuse is physical, emotional, or psychological, it leaves deep scars for the children who experienced it or witnessed it happening.
For you, this experience might have led you to becoming a people-pleaser. You may often find yourself freezing and overcome with anxiety.
And you may wonder why it is so hard to ask for what you want and need from people. These are just some of the impacts of growing up with family violence.
To make it worse, the shame and the need to "save face" makes it feel impossible to ever open up about it.
You're done pretending that family violence is "normal." You want a safe environment to finally release this heavy burden.
You’re tired of being overcome with shame, and having to hide your family’s abuse. You're ready to open up about it, and take the courageous step to heal.
You’re ready to be free from the shackles of shame and pain.
