TRAUMA HELP WORKBOOK
By
Lili Pintea-Reed, Ph.D.
Often people feel like they are being abused, but they have
trouble defining exactly what the other person is doing that is
causing them so much emotional pain...This may be as a result of
a cultural or value system that guides their behavior, or of one
variety or another of true emotional cruelty...In either case, it
is still abuse and you cannot allow anyone to abuse you...
YOUR FIRST AND BEST DEFENDER IS YOURSELF...
You know you are being abused when:
1)You burst into tears for "no reason" and you are not sure why.
Or you feel nothing at all...just numb...
2)You are told "you are in my house (office, workplace, personal
space...etc...) so you owe me "touches" or sex...
3)You are told "you are in my house (office, workplace, personal
space, ...etc...) so you owe me money...
4)Anyone ever becomes or threatens to become physically
aggressive with you --- including aggressive body postures and "looks."
5)The other person denies these are abusive behaviors when you
object, or attempts to make you think its your fault.
6)You experience negative social, work or interpersonal
consequences for objecting to the abuse.
7)Other people in these situations begin to hide from or avoid
you in the above situation(s) for fear of experiencing negatives
consequences themselves.
8)Other people tell you "if you'd just shut up life would be
better for everyone."
9)You feel utterly alone.
10)You can't decide what to do.
You are being abused those are abusive behaviors described above
so speak up. If you are unsure how to handle the situation seek
the help of trained abuse professionals...
Remember, You deserve to be happy...
Agape,
Lili
