Guest Episode: Domestic Violence & Trauma Therapy with Mile High Magazine

Guest Episode: Domestic Violence & Trauma Therapy with Mile High Magazine

October was Domestic Violence Awareness Month.  There are six different  kinds of domestic violence.  The first is what everyone knows, the  physical abuse, the second is sexual, the third is emotional abuse, the  forth is economic (controlling their access to money), the fifth is  psychological and the sixth is technological (revenge porn).  Domestic  violence is all about power and control.  Domestic violence also tends  to be generational because they witnessed it so they think it is normal.  The number one resource to give someone who is a victim of domestic  violence is resources.  Trauma from domestic violence can last a very  long time. Listen to Kevin Petersen MA, LMFT discuss with Mile High Magazine.
