What do you picture when you hear “domestic violence”? If you are like many, you imagine something stereotypical between a husband and wife with kids, and unfortunately so much is missing from that picture. How do you recognize you are in a damaging relationship if you haven’t seen relationships otherwise? Oftentimes, it’s not until you are out of a relationship that you understand that it was harmful.
Today on T-Talk, I talk with Dr. Kelly Gentry about intimate partner violence and her work with young adults, specifically-college aged women.
In today’s episode we unpack the intricacies of violence in romantic relationships, and the ways in which the victims in these relationships often get overlooked.
Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:
Learn the difference between domestic violence and intimate partner violence.
Hear about the power of sharing your story and having it heard when it comes to trauma recovery.
Find ways to utilize creativity in your healing as well as mindsets to avoid when approaching something new.
Listen to Dr. Gentry’s research findings in examining abusive relationships with college aged women.
Identify ways to help change the script.
Make sure to share this episode to help normalize this conversation because so many partners are living in silence or even unaware that partner violence actually pertains to their relationship.
