Domestic Abuse or Violence
Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional Psychologist (P7619) in Alberta, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) for the rest of Canada
Unfortunately, domestic abuse and violence is more common than it should be. It begins when one person in a close relationship becomes disgruntled with another, or a situation, and starts mistreating another. It starts innocently enough, with words or behaviors that are disrespectful and maybe a bit cutting. If this behavior is not addressed or resolved, it can escalate and become more severe. Hurt inflicted by a more powerful person is often transferred to the less powerful, leading to confusion, fear, anger, and a decrease in well-being for everyone involved. Serious abuse, violence, and even torture or murder can result from this escalating cycle. As a youth, Daniel was an innocent bystander in his own home, where unchecked anger and violence led to his hospitalization. There is a madness to this cycle, rooted in emotional pain. Daniel works to unravel the hurt and confusion, promote understanding, and create a path to freedom and possibility for all involved.

Creating a safety plan is the initial focus of working with domestic abuse or violence. Know that you will be treated in a non-judgmental, safe space that is understanding of all situations. I will also address the emotions and maladaptive thoughts that are a result of abuse.
