Breaking the Cycle of Violence: Understanding and Overcoming Aggressive Behaviour
What is Violence?
Violence refers to the intentional use of physical force or power against oneself, another person, or a group or community, resulting in harm, injury, or death. It can take many forms, including physical, sexual, emotional, and verbal.
The Impact of Violence
Violence can have a significant impact on individuals, families, and communities, including:
- Physical and psychological trauma
- Loss of trust and safety
- Disrupted relationships
- Increased risk of substance abuse and mental health issues
- Financial strain
Understanding Aggressive Behaviour
Aggressive behaviour is often the result of unmet needs, past traumas, or underlying mental health conditions. Understanding the root causes of aggressive behaviour can help individuals and communities develop effective strategies to prevent and address violence.
How Therapy Helps
Our therapists use approaches such as CBT, trauma therapy, and anger management counselling to help individuals:
- Understand triggers of aggressive behaviour
- Improve emotional control
