Victims are much more likely to cover up and downplay the abuse rather than make it up or exaggerate. They may feel like what happened to them is their fault.
Ever felt helpless when a friend or loved one confides in you about their abusive relationship? In this episode of 'Restored Hope', host Bisi Gbadebo shares valuable insights on how to effectively support victims and survivors of domestic abuse. Bisi dives into the complex reasons why individuals might stay in abusive relationships and offers practical advice on how to be there for them in meaningful ways. One key takeaway is the importance of listening without judgment.
Often, victims are hesitant to open up, and it takes immense courage for them to share their experiences. Bisi stresses the need for empathy and patience, highlighting that your role is to provide a safe space for them to express themselves. She also discusses what to avoid saying—comments that could inadvertently blame the victim or downplay their experiences. This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to make a real difference in the lives of those affected by domestic abuse.
Whether you're a friend, family member, or just someone who cares, you'll find actionable tips to create a supportive and understanding environment.
