Domestic Violence and PTSD go Hand in Hand

Domestic Violence and PTSD are truly linked together. The following is an excerpt from a HUB Page on the subject:

PTSD is caused by a specific traumatic event such as a natural disaster, life threatening incident such as an assault or rape, or witnessing such an event happen to another person, particularly a loved one. The result is a single psychiatric injury that is contained to a single memory pathway of neurons.

Unlike PTSD, which can develop after a person has experienced a specific event that was traumatic enough to cause a psychiatric injury, Complex PTSD develops after a person has experienced many traumatic events. Such circumstances can be found situations of ongoing abuse, for example: childhood abuse, family/domestic violence and work place bullying.

Each specific episode of abuse or bullying involved in the ongoing trauma results in the victim suffering a psychiatric injury, and so, over time, many many psychiatric injuries are inflicted. Due to the ongoing nature of such traumas, the individual events and resulting psychiatric injuries are spread out through hundreds of related memory pathways and thousands of neurons, neural clusters, and neural networks.

Domestic Violence Videos: Violence Awareness

Domestic violence videos are fresh in our memories due to Domestic violence awareness month. Domestic violence is typically “swept under the rug” or forgotten about due to the fact that many women have few shelter options once they leave home. Unfortunately, battered many times battered women must return to a volatile situation in order to provide a roof over the heads of themselves and their children. In a follow up to preliminary video coverage (of Debra Bowles helping a battered woman and her children) we are providing exclusive coverage showing Debra aid battered women and children.

Our PASSION  is increasing awareness on the need for financial assistance, sponsorship, coaching and mentoring of those who are victims of physical/mental abuse and socioeconomic disadvantage.

We are launching a campaign with others that is aimed at giving an inside look at what is REALLY going on in our communities. It’s amazing how many small issues are having a negative effect on our children and women. Children with no school clothes or supplies, women who have decided to leave abuse relationships but are being turned away by shelters and non profits because of lack of space, young men and women who are attempting to do positive things to further their education and personal growth but can’t identify a mentor. All of these MUST be addressed.

We hope we can count on your support in simply helping us increase awareness.

We look forward to keeping in touch here  as well as on youtube, twitter and facebook.
