If you are experiencing persistent or worsening mental health symptoms because of domestic abuse trauma, we want to introduce you to A Mission For Michael (AMFM). AMFM residential treatment facilities provide compassionate, trauma-informed care in California, Washington, and Virginia. We have created a safe, compassionate, and recovery-orientated environment for you to thrive in.
AMFM treatment centers have treatment options for a range of mental health and dual-diagnosis conditions. This includes conditions that resulted from, or worsened, due to the psychological effects of domestic violence and abuse. Our clinical team will provide a personalized treatment plan including evidence-based therapies, wellness programs, and holistic treatments. We are now going to review commonly used treatment options for the short-term and long-term impacts of domestic abuse trauma to help you gain awareness of treatment options.
Domestic abuse includes emotional, psychological, and physical distress caused within familial or intimate relationships. The effects of domestic abuse trauma commonly include deep emotional difficulties, such as persistent fear. Continued abuse can have long-term effects on your mental health, self-esteem, and ability to trust within relationships.
Those who experience continued domestic abuse are at a higher risk for developing mental health disorders, including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. The short-term and long-term impacts of domestic abuse can vary from person to person. Individual differences are attributed to the abuse you have survived, your coping skills, social support, and other mental health concerns. Domestic abuse trauma recovery programs can provide you with the support and guidance you need to begin healing from what you have survived. We invite you to contact AMFM for a complimentary, and confidential, mental health assessment. We can then review appropriate domestic abuse trauma therapy programs, helping you access the treatment you need.
There are often individual differences in the signs of domestic abuse trauma. These differences can affect the symptoms you experience, their intensity, and their impact on your functioning. Common signs of trauma from domestic abuse include anxiety, depression, mood swings, low self-esteem, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Other signs of domestic abuse trauma include:

If we are not an appropriate provider for care, we will assist in finding a care provider that can help.
Short-term effects from domestic abuse can appear rather quickly after a trauma. This can include shock, confusion, emotional numbness, emotional distress, and intense fear. You may struggle with concentration, sleep disturbances, physical injuries from the trauma, and panic attacks. These symptoms may or may not be visible to those around you, and can impact your daily life.
Long-term effects that you may experience from domestic abuse are often severe and have a significant impact on your overall level of functioning. This can include mental health disorders like PTSD, depression, and chronic anxiety. You may also struggle with trusting others and building healthy relationships. Some find themselves turning to drugs and alcohol as a way of coping with domestic violence trauma, which can lead to the development of substance abuse and substance use concerns. Prolonged stress associated with domestic abuse can also take a toll on your physical health.
Psychological effects of domestic violence commonly affect the survivor’s mental health, sometimes on a long-term basis. PTSD from domestic abuse affects between 31% to 84% of survivors. Common symptoms associated with PTSD include intrusive and distressing memories, nightmares, severe anxiety, and hypervigilance. Depressive symptoms, including hopelessness and persistent sadness, may also develop.
Other psychological signs of domestic abuse include, and are not limited to:
Trauma treatment centers can provide you with specialized care focused on healing from abusive relationships. These structured treatment programs commonly combine therapy, counseling, support services, and holistic treatments to facilitate healing. Your treatment will be tailored to you and can include learning coping skills and establishing support.
Behavioral health centers can provide varying levels of care, ranging from inpatient to outpatient care. Each of these options is designed to address the varying severity of symptoms you experience. Finding the right mental health treatment center can help you heal from the emotional scars of domestic violence.

Treatment centers offering treatment focused on healing from abusive relationships can vary. Trauma-informed care can provide you with personalized care addressing the short-term and long-term effects of domestic abuse. Examples of therapies that can be incorporated into your treatment include, and are not limited to:
Psychodynamic therapy is an approach commonly used in long-term treatment. This approach can help you address deep-rooted emotional challenges that are impacted by early childhood experiences and unconscious patterns. This approach can deepen your insight into how your past affects your current behaviors and relationships.
Trauma-informed care is a form of adapted therapeutic approach that focuses on creating a sense of safety, empowerment, and sensitivity to trauma. These approaches ensure that you feel heard, respected, and supported throughout your treatment experience. Trauma-informed care is commonly used in both inpatient and outpatient recovery centers.
EMDR is an approach used in trauma treatment centers. With EMDR, your therapist will use guided eye movements to help you reprocess traumatic memories. Treatment focuses on one memory at a time and can be repeated for additional memories. This can help reduce the emotional distress you experience as a result of domestic abuse.
Group therapy is a commonly used treatment option for mental health conditions resulting from past trauma. Group therapy can provide you with a supportive environment focused on learning coping skills, connecting with others, and decreasing isolation. This is often a validating experience that can help you overcome fear after domestic abuse.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a modified form of CBT that focuses on changing negative thought patterns and coping strategies that develop after trauma and traumatic events. TF-CBT is commonly used as a treatment option for those who struggle with severe emotional distress and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Exposure therapy is a structured behavioral therapy that is available in some healthcare facilities. This approach can help reduce trauma-related fear and anxiety symptoms that disrupt your daily life. Treatment will focus on gradually exposing you to your distressing memories in a safe and supportive environment.
Holistic treatment centers can offer mindfulness-based stress reduction as a trauma treatment option. This approach can help you learn mindfulness and meditation techniques that can improve your emotion regulation and increase self-awareness. You can gain more insight into emotional triggers related to your trauma and develop effective coping skills to manage them.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic approach commonly used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal, and mindfulness skills. This can help you learn to manage intense emotions related to your abuse and trauma while building resilience. DBT can be used in both inpatient and outpatient mental health wellness centers.
