Abuse Meaning
Hi, my name is Paul Hunter. If you’ve googled “abuse”, then you’ve come to the right place.
I am a Clinical Hypotherapist, CBT Practitioner and Life Coach and I have been helping the people of Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Waterford and Tipperary overcome the effects of this problem for the past fifteen years.
Here is an excellent definition of abuse:
“Abuse is defined as any action that intentionally harms or injures another person.”
If you have been a victim, either as a child, or as an adult, it can leave deep emotional scars. It can cause:
- PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
- Addictions to drugs or alcohol
- Depression and low self esteem
- Anger in response to certain triggers
- Intimacy issues later in life
- Scared of being abandoned
- Feeling helpless at times
- People pleasing
- Believing you’re not good enough
- Pain during intimacy (especially for females)
- Loneliness and withdrawal from socialising
Signs Of Abuse
These are by no means all of the signs but they can be some of the more common one’s to look out for
- Constant injuries which don't make sense
- Becoming isolated from friends & family
- Low self esteem
- Lack of money or control over money
- Loss of appetite or comfort eating
- Seeming different when a certain person is there
Domestic Abuse In Ireland
The most readily available statistics for domestic abuse are for cases against women. It is estimated that one in four women who have been in a relationship have been abused either by a current partner or a previous partner.
Although the figures are easier to find in relation to abuse against women, there is growing evidence that men are also experiencing this problem, with as many as 6% of men reporting as victims of abuse.
Thankfully, today, we live in a society where victims are encouraged to come forward and there is help available. Find out more about how I can help you to live a happy life again. Click on the button below and arrange a FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION today!
