How Can I Reestablish My Sense of Worth and Value?

Domestic abusers often start by attacking the self-esteem and value of their victims. They do this through name-calling, shaming, and gaslighting the victim repeatedly for weeks, months, and even years. If you are looking to recover your sense of self-worth, counseling for abusive relationships can help you see progress one day at a time. 

First, we will help you talk through and overcome any feelings of guilt or shame you might have. Please understand that the abuse is not your fault! Abusers often take advantage of the empathy, love, and compassion of their victims, making it even more difficult for victims to find freedom.

We can also help you connect with support groups so that you can build relationships with other people who have experienced abuse. These groups provide you the opportunity to speak honestly about your experience and receive positive reinforcement from people who understand. 

Ultimately, we want to help you reframe the way you think about and talk to yourself. Being patient and kind to yourself takes work, but we are here to help you make progress.
