Dr. Dana Watson from Families Inc. Counseling Services joined Brandon and Kelly for a powerful conversation during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. When people hear the term domestic violence, do they only picture physical abuse? What really qualifies as domestic violence, and are there early warning signs in a relationship before things turn serious? Why is “just leaving” so difficult, and why does abuse often happen in cycles where someone is hurtful one day and loving the next? What does gaslighting actually mean, and how does it affect victims? Can someone be abusive without realizing it, and what happens psychologically to children growing up in a home affected by domestic violence? Why isn’t abuse always obvious to friends, family, and coworkers, and how should you best respond if someone confides in you?
