To minimize risk of exposure to and spread of the COVID-19 virus and COVID-19 variants, I am continuing to suspend in-person hypnotherapy sessions with me in my office. Meanwhile, phone, and Zoom consultations ARE and WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE!

Hypnotherapy is an extremely effective tool to help manage anger and
frustration. However, dealing with domestic violence is another situation entirely.
This abuse can be physical, sexual or emotional violence; bleeding and other
indications of physical battery do not have to be evident for the negative
behavior to be classified as abuse. Furthermore, it can be directed against
spouses (wives and husbands), the
elderly, children, etc. Examples of such violence include spousal abuse, child
abuse, incest and rape.
The underlying “cause” or subconscious motivation of the abuse is for
the abuser to gain or feel power over and control the victim. For example, the
person may threaten or actually withhold access to money/finances, intimidate
with coercion or threats, humiliate or “guilt” the victim, isolate from friends
or other family members, minimize the effects of the abuse/deny it happened, prevent
access to kids/deny visitation, use “male privilege,” etc. Whether the duration
of this cycle is long (e.g., lasts weeks or months) or short (e.g., lasts hours
or days), it usually escalates and can have deadly consequences for the victim.
Following is an outline of the typical pattern or cycle that violence is
expressed.
Phase 1: Building Tension
Stress
Frustration
Low Self-esteem
Poor Communication
Phase 2: Explosion/Losing Control
Fight
Anger
Fear
Phase 3: Honeymoon/Loving & Remorse
Stage
Guilt
Remorse
Promises:
“I’ll never do it again!”
Phase 1 … And
so the cycle repeats.
