Relationship abuse takes on many forms, some of which are more transparent and recognizable than others. Types of abuse include:
- Physical
- Sexual
- Verbal/Emotional
- Psychological
- Financial
- Cultural/identity-based
Perhaps you find yourself trapped in a cycle of abuse and are afraid to reach out for support, or simply don’t know where to turn. The Lotus Counseling team can direct you to the resources and support you need to stay safe and protect
yourself, family, or loved one from abuse. In therapy, you and your therapist will develop safety plans while addressing the emotional impact of abuse to allow the healing process to begin. There’s no better time to take back control of
your life.
