Kimberly was proud to call herself a survivor of domestic abuse. She had survived the toxic relationship with her ex-husband with her soul and body intact. But she still suffered lasting psychological effects of the physically and emotionally abusive relationship. For example, she seemed to suffer more anxiety than most people.
Kimberly worried about her ex-husband coming back into the picture. She worried that she still cared for him despite what he’d done. She worried that her daughters were going to get into abusive relationships when they grew up because that’s what they’d witnessed for so many years. She worried that her sons would grow up to be abusive themselves, modeling their behavior after their father’s. She worried that she’d never find love again. Some weeks Kimberly wondered if she had depression as well, a byproduct of all the worrying. Kimberly knew that she needed help managing her emotions and her relationship trauma. Who could she call?
Kimberly should reach out to one of the licensed mental health providers at Thriveworks Counseling Davenport. She could consider seeing an individual therapist to talk about her previous intimate relationship and its psychological fallout. She could even consider seeing a family therapist who could help her and her children cope with the abuse they experienced. The professional counselors at Thriveworks Counseling Davenport offer all these exceptional services and more.
