[Trigger warning: this episode contains content of domestic abuse and suicide] In commemoration with International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, this special episode is on raising awareness on domestic violence - what are the circumstances that often leads one to being in an abusive relationship, the mental gymnastics that one goes through catapulting back and forth between staying or leaving the abusive relationship, what’s the cycle of abuse that keeps one stuck and locked in, and how can one heal from the Post-traumatic stress (which is often an after effect of going through a traumatic experience). To you, dear one, if you or someone you know is needing help, you can contact the Casa raudha hotline (crisis shelter) at 6898 1316. You can also find out more information on Casa raudha and their intiatives at www.casaraudha.org, or visit their socials @casaruadha on instagram, and @enddomesticviolencesg on facebook. Alternatively, you can also call in the 24 hour National Anti-Violence & Sexual Harassment Helpline at 1800-777-0000.
