Beyond Abuse, Beyond Therapy, Beyond Anything

Domestic violence is a big subject, not just in the U.S., but worldwide. In many ways, it touches all of us, not just the victims and perpetrators. Make no mistake...any reason for staying is a lie and only serves to sanction the actions of the abuser and enable children to believe it's okay. It keeps you stuck in a No-Choice Universe. How do you know when you or someone you love is caught in an abusive entanglement? Here are some questions to help you recognize the danger signals: Do you feel trapped or hostage in your relationship? Do you hold secrets? Are you afraid to show the world about your relationship? Are you isolating or withdrawing? Is your life becoming really small? Are you staying for the children? Asking these questions and knowing what to do in response to them can make the critical difference and begin to orient you in the direction of freedom. Using the 4 C's of Radical Aliveness can set you clearly on that path.
