• PRE ABUSE• Feeling in control• Being able to form positive
relationships• Feeling good about herself
• Being in touch with her feelings• Knowing how to look after herself• Being able to make rational
decisions
• POST ABUSE• Isolated not in control • Only perspective of abuser not
forming positive relationship• Her inner core beliefs about
herself have almost been ‘abused' out of her not feeling good about herself
• But these core beliefs tell her what is happening is wrong not in touch with her feelings
• BUT she can’t stop it not able to make rationale decisions or knowing to look after herself

Coping strategies• About safety and risk• About protecting self and others• About maintaining status quo so it doesn't
escalate• About seeing everything from the abusers
perspective (safety)• About taking responsibility for abuse and
therefore any change
![Page 9: Sue Penna Associates](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568146b3550346895db3cfd1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cognitive Dissonance• The feeling of uncomfortable tension when
we hold two conflicting thoughts in our mind at the same time
• Dissonance is strong when we believe something about ourselves and then do something against the belief,
• I am an assertive person, so why can’t I assert myself with my partner?
![Page 10: Sue Penna Associates](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568146b3550346895db3cfd1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
To release the tension we
• Change our behaviour (have tea ready at a set time)
• Justify our behaviour by changing the conflicting cognition ( having tea ready at a set time isn't a problem for me)
• Justify out behaviour by adding new cognitions (my partner has every right to expect tea at a certain time, they are the breadwinner)
![Page 11: Sue Penna Associates](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568146b3550346895db3cfd1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Cognitive dissonance is central to many forms of persuasion to change beliefs, values attitudes and behaviours
• Used in cults, extreme societies and families where there is domestic abuse

So what happens
• Change in beliefs affects the way we see the world
• Changes positive beliefs about ourselves into negative beliefs
![Page 13: Sue Penna Associates](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568146b3550346895db3cfd1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• POSTIVE BELIEFS• RESPONSIBILTY I am a
good/loving person• RESPONSIBILTY I do the best I
can, I can learn
• SAFETY/VULNERABLITY I can choose who to trust
• CONTROL/CHOICE I know have choices
• NEGATIVE BELIEFS• RESPONSIBILTY ‘I AM SOMETHING
WRONG; E.G I am a bad person• RESPONSIBILITY I DID SOMETHING
WRONG E.G I should have known better
• SAFETY/VULNERABLITY E.G I cannot trust anyone
• CONTROL/CHOICE E.G I am powerless

What happens if not addressed
• Develop mental health issues (Inevitable given the horror of the situation)
• Remain vulnerable to further abuse• Use of coping strategies that were vital in
abusive situation but post abuse destructive/unhelpful
• Continue to hold beliefs imposed by perpetrator and so continue to feel bad about self

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Type 1 stressors occur unexpectedly, one time and extend beyond normal everyday stressors that most people experience on a regular basis.
• Type 2 stressors occur on an ongoing basis, the longer the stressor continues the longer the PDST likely to endure

• Since the course I am now confident, happy and free from abuse. I have taken in all the knowledge of what the women have taught me, this definitely was the course that covered all I need to know. For anyone who has gone through abuse I would recommend this is the course to go on because I am no longer a victim just a happy and grateful survivor.
![Page 23: Sue Penna Associates](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568146b3550346895db3cfd1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• "the course has actually changed my life, I know that sounds dramatic but the difference I feel is dramatic. I had a down period a few months ago and instead of going deeper into depression I was able to use the tools that I learnt on the course and I could work out for myself the early warning signs and the triggers which helped me to feel better and I got through the depression a lot quicker, I also now feel that because I did this once next time I feel like this I know I will be able to help myself rather than relying on professionals. So the course really has changed my life I feel that I am actually in a new chapter and am starting to get brave and build my confidence more."
