Description

Relationship abuse (e.g., domestic violence, intimate partner violence, sexual violence, etc.) continues rampant in our society. Statistics associated with the #metoo movement and increased intimate partner violence/domestic violence reports during the pandemic support the need for the continued care of victims and survivors during, and perhaps more importantly, after the relationship has ended. Counselors need to understand how relationship abuse occurs and the impact of that abuse on the victim. Understanding how healing or recovery from abuse can occur is also essential. Counselors need hands-on techniques and interventions that they can use in practice with victims and survivors of relationship abuse. The empowerment wheel provides a straightforward, practical intervention using art therapy to illustrate six key concepts promoting self-awareness, healing, and growth. This presentation provides a clear and easy-to-use approach and practical tools for counselors serving clients with a history of relationship abuse.
