Domestic Violence Sucks! Journal Abusive Incidents: 28 Intentional Questions That Keeps A Record Everything He's Done
Domestic Violence Sucks! Journaling Each Incident is one of the most important books you'll own. Journaling each abusive event is important for many reasons. This may be very new to you. Writing down what happened may feel strange or wrong. Breaking the silence of domestic violence (even on paper) is difficult.
Your batterer has conditioned you to be silent about the violence you've endured. Writing it out is a process.
Keeping a Record
When many people think of journaling, they envision keeping a daily log of events, like a diary. This simple style of journaling is more effective way to remember the events. Each journal prompt explores the ways you were treated, what he said, what he did, where it happened and so forth. This type journaling helps clarify your thoughts and feelings, gain perspective on a situation, and solve problems more effectively.
This book, "Domestic Violence Sucks" has 28 specific questions to help jog your memory of what happened to you, his tones, where you were, who was present. You'll have the option to write about any depression, fear, helplessness and what actually happened.
Writing about each specific event can help you keep a dated record of your experiences, so you can keep events straight and remember the details in case you need them later. Processing trauma journaling can also be a safe way to process traumatic elements. Many times, we aren't ready to share what happened with anyone.
While it can be tempting to bury and ignore painful memories, that is not a successful long-term strategy. Translating thoughts into words helps make sense of what just happened. It changes how our brains think about things.
Putting those memories to paper can be a safe way to begin working through your pain, depression, anxiety, helplessness, fear, hope or dreams. Try taking some time to write about how you feel, what happened. Don't worry about it making sense or being grammatically correct, just commit to journaling for 5-10 minutes.
Domestic abuse and domestic violence are not okay. It shouldn't happen to anyone. Ever! Unfortunately, it happens far too often. The more you know about it, the easier it will be to actively seek assistance for yourself or people you care about.
Abusers are not easy to spot. They have the ability to be two different people. To the outside world they often appear to be kind, charming, loving, and caring. But when they are back in their homes, away from their public personas, they can be violent to their loved ones. It will be hard to keep this journal when he's apologizing and promises to be better. We always want to believe the best in our significant others. But domestic violence is progressive. Abusers can't stop without help.
In my book, "Why Does He Keep Hurting Me? Inside the Mind of Abusers" will help you know if he can stop abusing you.
It will answer questions like:
Why does he keep hurting me?
He's promised he'll never do it again. Can I trust him?
He blames me for him beating me. Is it my fault?
Everyone loves my husband. He's magnetic, charming generous, why isn't he like that with me all the time?
When he drinks everything gets worse, is alcohol the reason he's an abuser?
