Domestic Abuse
Barbara Freedman
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.Ed., OAMHP(Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals-2704-G)
I have successfully worked with well over one hundred Victim Service clients as a Mental Health Worker /Counsellor. Most of these clients were victims of domestic violence. Leaving such a relationship often involves a mourning process. I have provided safety, along with education and awareness involving the difficulties in leaving such a relationship.
Many victims of domestic violence are in denial or do not recognize the behavior as abuse , as normal is what we live. These challenges involve perceived or real fear of retaliation or further harm, in addition to the economic reasons of financial or housing dependence on the abuser. Self blame particularly cultural or family pressures leads to internalized oppression and discourages speaking out. Their fear of not being. believed or being judged is among the most common reason that victims suffer in silence. For those sustaining the pain of domestic abuse I provide an understanding of this process in addition to offering these clients ,guidance, resources as well as the self agency to be able to achieve freedom from this mistreatment.

Barrie is a city on Kempenfelt Bay of Lake Simcoe north of Toronto that has become one of Ontario's fastest-growing communities as families and professionals seek more affordable housing within commuting distance of the city, and the resulting rapid growth has created both rising demand for therapy and the particular challenges of a community still building its social infrastructure. Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre provides hospital-based mental health services, and Georgian College contributes to the local supply of trained counsellors through its health and wellness programs. The proximity to Muskoka cottage country and year-round outdoor recreation options give the city a quality-of-life appeal, though cold winters and long commutes to Toronto are among the stressors residents bring to therapy. Common therapy concerns include commuter stress, relocation and transition challenges, seasonal affective disorder, and the pressures of family life in a rapidly changing community.
