*Trigger Warning* Domestic Violence Increases During The Holidays

  • Summary

  • In a time that is typically associated with joy, togetherness, and celebration, domestic violence often increases during the holiday season. Experts have said the pressure to meet societal expectations of family togetherness, gift-giving, and financial stability can create stress, frustration, and conflict, which may escalate into abusive behavior. Abusers may use the holiday season as an opportunity to exert control over their victims, manipulating them emotionally or physically under the guise of maintaining "family traditions" or appearances.

    In this episode I discuss domestic violence during the holidays, the signs to look out for and how to get help.
