Physical Abuse <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Physical abuse is perhaps the most noticeable form of domestic violence. Unfortunately, it is also the most common type of domestic abuse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anything from slapping, punching, hitting and biting to burning, cutting, shoving and pulling hair can be termed as physical abuse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, any action undertaken by a person that is intended to physically harm a partner or a family member is physical abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.onlinecounselling4u.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/online-counselling-for-psychological-abuse-in-india-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Online counselling for psychological abuse in India\" class=\"wp-image-1314 lazyload\" title=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.onlinecounselling4u.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/online-counselling-for-psychological-abuse-in-india-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.onlinecounselling4u.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/online-counselling-for-psychological-abuse-in-india-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.onlinecounselling4u.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/online-counselling-for-psychological-abuse-in-india-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.onlinecounselling4u.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/online-counselling-for-psychological-abuse-in-india.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, when a person is in need of medical treatment and a partner or a family member does not allow that person to get the necessary treatment, that is physical abuse as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a partner or family member physically forces a person to consume alcohol or drugs, then it is counted as physical abuse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Emotional_Abuse\"><\/span>2. Emotional Abuse<strong> <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Emotional abuse is the type of domestic violence that is often hard to recognise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when people realise that they are facing emotional abuse, they often try to ignore it. As time goes by, it starts affecting their mental health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emotional abuse may not seem like a big deal to someone who has never faced it. However, it can be almost as bad as physical abuse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And hence, it should never be ignored. You should address the issues when they arise. Especially if it continues to occur long term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a person tries to invalidate or deflate a person\u2019s achievements, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinecounselling4u.com\/low-self-esteem-counselling.php\">self-esteem<\/a> or self-worth, it is defined as emotional abuse. Name-calling and constant criticism also fall under emotional abuse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interfering with a person\u2019s ability to do things, trying to harm the victim&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinecounselling4u.com\/relationship-counselling.php\">relationship<\/a> with his or her children, emotional blackmail- all these instances can be categorised as emotional abuse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Sexual_Abuse\"><\/span>3. Sexual Abuse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a tricky one to recognise. Even when a person realises that she or he is a victim of sexual violence, that person finds it hard to fight back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And since there can\u2019t really be any witness to this kind of domestic violence, it is often not detected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, due to the nature of this particular type of domestic abuse, the victims often hesitate to speak out against it. And hence, the victims of sexual abuse keep suffering in silence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The worst part is, in many countries, if two people are in a relationship or are married, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinecounselling4u.com\/sex-counselling.php\">sexual abuse<\/a> cases are not even considered for prosecution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.onlinecounselling4u.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/domestic-abuse-violence-counselling-in-india-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"Domestic abuse violence counselling in India\" class=\"wp-image-1316 lazyload\" title=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.onlinecounselling4u.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/domestic-abuse-violence-counselling-in-india-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.onlinecounselling4u.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/domestic-abuse-violence-counselling-in-india-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.onlinecounselling4u.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/domestic-abuse-violence-counselling-in-india-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.onlinecounselling4u.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/domestic-abuse-violence-counselling-in-india.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/680;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when the victim of sexual abuse seeks help, many a times, they are left disappointed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, exactly what is sexual abuse? When a person tries to force a partner into sexual contact, then it is defined as sexual abuse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a person is forced to carry out certain sexual acts or behaviours that are againts their wishes or comfort zone, that is termed as sexual abuse as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Causing harm to the sexual organs of a person, sexually demeaning a person, telling sexual jokes at the victim&#8217;s expense and physical violence followed by forceful sex- all these incidents are categorized as sexual violence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Psychological_Abuse\"><\/span>4. Psychological Abuse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Psychological abuse exists in different forms though its intention is the same. To gain control over the actions and life of the victim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most basic forms of psychological abuse is to invoke fear through intimidation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Threatening to physically harm the victim, the victim\u2019s friends, family, children, pets or oneself, are all parts of psychological abuse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.onlinecounselling4u.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/victim-of-sexual-violence-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Victim of sexual violence\" class=\"wp-image-1315 lazyload\" title=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.onlinecounselling4u.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/victim-of-sexual-violence-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.onlinecounselling4u.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/victim-of-sexual-violence-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.onlinecounselling4u.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/victim-of-sexual-violence-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.onlinecounselling4u.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/victim-of-sexual-violence.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Psychological abuse also involves isolating the psychological abuse victim from their loved ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stopping a person from going out- be it for education, work or socialising- also falls under psychological abuse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Economic_Abuse\"><\/span>5. Economic Abuse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a relationship where economic abuse takes place, the perpetrator often tries to control all the finances related to the victim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, the person who carries out economic abuse does everything he can to make the victim financially reliant on him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a bid to control the finances of the victim, the abuser withholds the victim\u2019s access to funds. In many cases, the abuser also tries to stop the victim from going to work or school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Stalking\"><\/span>6. Stalking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stalking is taken lightly by many people. But if not addressed in time, stalking can turn out to be life-threatening for a domestic abuse victim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stalking is sometimes a little hard to detect as it is something that is done by a person known to the victim. Stalking is often accompanied by some other form of domestic violence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watching, starring, spying on and following a person against their wishes can be defined as stalking.<br>Collecting information, sending gifts, making phone calls, leaving written notes, clicking the victim\u2019s photos are all different forms of stalking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting a person\u2019s home, school, college or workplace without their knowledge or permission is also categorised as stalking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If someone does the above-mentioned things even after they have been asked not to, then it is definitely a case of stalking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stalking needs to be addressed and solved at the earliest for the safety and well-being of the victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Cyberstalking\"><\/span>7.
