Domestic Violence Therapy in Philadelphia and Online Throughout Pennsylvania
Spilove Psychotherapy Specializes in Supporting Our Clients Trapped in Abusive Relationships, Emotional Abuse, & Psychological Abuse
It’s not always easy to discern whether a relationship is unhealthy or abusive. Initially, your partner seemed to embody the ideal qualities for you—intelligent, kind, and humorous. It all seemed effortless.
However, as the relationship has evolved over time, a distinct and unsettling shift has occurred. They insist that cut off your time with friends or family and get jealous if you do spend time away from them.
You’ve noticed that they have been insulting, demeaning and shaming you, especially in front of others. And anytime you try to stand up for yourself, they intimidate you with their threatening look and later actions.
Perhaps you’ve noticed a loss of autonomy in making your own decisions. There was a time when you could freely express your thoughts, but gradually, your partner has assumed control over decision-making. The fear of expressing your thoughts, discussing certain topics, or refusing your partner's requests has taken hold. Their exertion of power has created an atmosphere of entrapment and anxiety in the relationship, leaving you feeling confined and unsure of how to regain your freedom.
You realize that leaving your relationship is the best choice for your well-being.
You’re too scared to leave; you’re stuck and you can’t find a way out.
