Domestic Abuse or Violence
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Domestic violence is often associated with emotions such as shame and embarrassment. People who have been abused often struggle to set boundaries, express needs in a healthy way, and identify red flags early on in relationships. Our therapy experience will largely involve processing the emotions that underlie the traumatic event and process regrets from within the relationship. Work around increasing self-worth and self-love will also be a fundamental factor in order to help you develop compassion and nurturance for the difficulties that you have endured.

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.

Reg Fleming
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., RMFT, RCC
Domestic Abuse or violence are experiences that are very difficult to work through. Working with a therapist who has experience and calm with these issues are key. I see these situations as escalated patterns where a person often gets activated by another person, and reacts with a part of themselves that is an extreme protector. Others experience this a threat and react in a variety of ways they have learned to survive. I believe these patterns can be changed, and relationships can be repaired with effort, willingness to be vulnerable in the work to understand and shift reactivity to more clear and calm responses. I have supported individuals, couple and families make these changes.
