Abusive behavior is not always obvious and is often hidden behind subtleties. Abuse is an offensive attitude that can be expressed not only in the form of direct insults. It can manifest itself in various forms such as manipulation, control and emotional neglect. At the core is a power dynamic that becomes a form of one person dominating another with neglect and violence, which can leave one partner feeling humiliated, disenfranchised, or unheard. Both men and women are prone to abuse. The form of disrespectful communication is unfortunately very common in our society, but in order to change something we must understand what we are dealing with. Abuse is not always a conscious choice of a person, often it can be models learned from childhood, beliefs from the social environment or the traumatic experience of the person himself. (for example, unconscious or conscious hatred of the opposite sex due to any personal stories of causing pain or harm in the past). A person’s condition and worldview are his personal responsibility, so before you try to influence your partner and change him, start by taking care of yourself. Start by being aware of your emotional state. If you have persistent feelings of anxiety, self-doubt, or a feeling of being controlled, this may be a sign of unhealthy dynamics in the relationship. Pay attention to the way you communicate: Constant criticism, belittling comments, or dissuading you are subtle but still serious signs of abuse .The consequences of abuse go beyond the emotional sphere. People may experience physical symptoms such as headaches, insomnia, or digestive problems. Recognizing these signs is critical to unraveling abusive relationships and developing self-awareness. Mindful Self-Awareness: Start with self-awareness. Understand your own needs, boundaries (do's and don'ts) and desires. This self-reflection lays the foundation for healthier relationship dynamics.Effective Communication Strategies: Maintain open and honest communication. Express your feelings assertively, without reproach or blame. Encourage your partner to share their emotions. Develop emotional intelligence: Developing emotional intelligence allows you to navigate the complexities of feelings, promoting empathy and understanding in relationships. Seek supportive connections: Connect with friends, family, or support groups to build a network that can provide perspective beyond outside of the relationship. Explore body-centered therapies: Techniques such as yoga, meditation, or body-centered therapy can reconnect you with your physical self, which will greatly advance you in understanding your needs and building personal boundaries. Abusive relationships are difficult to rebuild and it’s quite difficult to get out of them without support and the ability to defend yourself.
