Learned Violence In American Homes

Six thousand acts of violence are committed every day across the United States.
Victims of rape, abuse, neglect and trauma occupy one in every eight hospital beds.
Thirty percent of all women seeking treatment in emergency departments are victims of battering.
Annually, domestic violence results in 100,000 days of hospitalization, 30,000 emergency department visits and 40,000 visits to physicians.
By proactively seeking therapy before things get too heated can prevent one from becoming a victim of crime or impulsively assaulting another. Of course, rape has many other dimensions and can mercilessly leave anyone a victim/surivior, and therefore has limited relevance to the following discussion.
When we are raised with or exposed to violence the feeling of racing adrenaline oddly becomes natural for us. With conscious awareness and a plan to learn a new way of living (without that traumatic and sometimes fatal drama), can greatly increase our quality of life while opening up a world of wonderful, fulfilling options. There is no need to get stuck in primitive emotions of rage and fear that only continue a viscious cycle of shame and regret. Professional therapists have studied these dynamics and receive extensive training in order to best assist you with tools to break the chains that otherwise bind us to the burdens of our past.
