What Do I Do When There Is Physical Violence or Intimidation

Do not attempt our couples counselling when intimidating or violent behaviour is occuring. Couples counseling creates the illusion that the problem is a communication or couples problem, when the real problem is the violent person's impulse control. So the first order of business is that that person seeks our experienced and professional help to control and cease his, or her, violence and intimidation. That may consist of at least 5 or 6 months of treatment; before beginning to work on marital communication issues with both partners in the room.

Whenever, there is violence and abuse, the violent partner must FIRST get treatment for his or her problem of not controlling the violence/abuse. The one who is physically violent or emotionally abusive must seek help for his or her individual problem of lack of control. Group treatment by trained violence professionals is known to be the most effective type of therapy. Standard individual psychotherapy, by therapists not trained in anger management or violence may even be counterproductive.

If there is violence in the relationship please call today to join our MOTH Project where we work with the violent person in a confidential weekly group programme for violent partners.
