23.01.2022 PTSD is very challenging for those who live with it, and for those who love and support them. Sometimes we might find it confusing to understand a loved one’s (or our own) behaviour. Here is a list of symptoms and behaviours that are commonly associated with PTSD. #marama #maramacounselling #onlinecounselling

03.01.2022 Some helpful tips.

01.01.2022 I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. My beautiful friend has recently shared her experience of DV. I’m glad she is shining a light on a dark topic. There are ma...ny reasons for not speaking about DV. From personal experience some of these could be (and are by no means limited to): -You don’t know that’s what it is. I actually thought much of the behavior I witnessed growing up was normal and happened to everyone else too. The adults in my life didn’t talk to me about it appropriately. Perhaps they thought not talking about it was protecting me... I don’t know? Perhaps they were embarrassed. I wish I hadn’t grown up thinking that it was normal. I actually thought all men were like that. Can you imagine? I didn’t know beautiful men existed. I allowed grown adult men to treat me badly because that’s what I thought they all were like. -You don’t want other people to know. I didn’t want people to feel sorry for me. Or bizarrely I didn’t want them to hate the violators. Because I loved them. Very much. Even though they hurt me and other family members, they weren’t bad 100% of the time. It’s very confusing growing up with someone who is pretty good most of the time, but for part of the time they are really really bad. -You feel empathy for the violator. They had a shitty childhood. They were sick. If I just love them enough, they’ll feel it, they’ll change and they’ll love me back... Some people have expressed anger over DV perps not getting enough time for things they’ve done. I’d like you to think about all the victims who have not been able to report their DV experiences. My perp got nothing. My sister’s abuser: nothing. The abusers in my family: nothing. Why? Death threats, police didn’t care, or it was not reported because in reality all it does sometimes is make your abuser angrier, and gives them more reason to hurt you again. Talk about DV and what it is. Help break a cycle of abuse and silence.
