Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is any type of abuse that occurs within an intimate relationship as an attempt to dominate or control the other person. It can happen between past or current partners, spouses, or in dating relationships. Domestic violence can include but is not limited to: 

• Control 
• Physical abuse 
• Sexual abuse 
• Emotional abuse or intimidation 
• Isolation 
• Verbal abuse or threats 
• Financial or economic abuse 

Even after leaving an abusive relationship, individuals may have trouble trusting others or experience flashbacks of the trauma they experienced. In some cases individuals who suffered from domestic violence may go on to develop PTSD, recommended by therapist in Toronto.
