Domestic Abuse
Liz Frings
Counsellor/Therapist, PG Diploma Person-Centred Psychotherapy. EMDR Accredited
Sexual and domestic violence leave impacts that extend far beyond the immediate physical harm. These experiences can fundamentally alter how you see yourself, others, and the world around you—and those effects are valid regardless of how long ago the violence occurred or what form it took.
Emotional and Psychological Effects
You might experience intense emotions like fear, shame, guilt, or anger—sometimes all at once. Many survivors struggle with anxiety, depression, or feeling emotionally numb. You may find yourself hypervigilant, constantly scanning for danger, or experiencing flashbacks and intrusive memories that make it feel like the trauma is happening again. Sleep disturbances, nightmares, and difficulty concentrating are common. Some survivors describe feeling disconnected from their bodies or experiencing moments where they don’t feel fully present.
Impact on Identity and Relationships
Violence, especially from someone you trusted, can shake your sense of who you are and your ability to trust your own judgment. You might struggle with self-blame, even though the violence was never your fault. Intimacy—both physical and emotional—can become complicated or frightening. You may find yourself withdrawing from relationships, or alternately, seeking connection in ways that don’t feel healthy. Setting boundaries might feel impossible, or you might build walls so high that no one can reach you.
Physical Effects
Trauma lives in the body. You might experience chronic pain, headaches, digestive issues, or other physical symptoms that doctors struggle to explain. Your body’s stress response system may be on constant alert, leading to exhaustion, tension, or feeling unsafe in your own skin.

Domestic Abuse
MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Domestic abuse involves a pattern of controlling and coercive behaviors in intimate relationships. It can be physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, or financial. The trauma from such experiences can lead to a range of mental health issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Hypnotherapy allows individuals to access and process traumatic memories in a safe and controlled environment. By guiding clients into a relaxed state, hypnotherapists help them confront and release the emotional pain associated with their experiences.

Exeter is Devon's cathedral city and county town, home to the University of Exeter—a Russell Group institution with a strong academic reputation—and one of the south-west's most economically vibrant cities, with growing demand for mental health services driven by a rapidly increasing population and a student community with significant wellbeing needs. NHS mental health services are provided through Devon Partnership NHS Trust, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves both the university community and the broader Exeter population. The city's housing market has become one of the most expensive in the south-west, creating financial stress for young professionals and key workers who want to live in a genuinely desirable city. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, anxiety related to housing and financial pressures, life transitions, and the identity and career challenges of a city that attracts young graduates who stay on after completing their degrees.
