Understanding the Cycle of Abuse: Awareness for Healing

Post 153 – Understanding the Cycle of Abuse: Awareness for Healing

The cycle of abuse often follows a predictable pattern of tension building, incident, reconciliation, and calm.

Recognizing this cycle empowers survivors to anticipate and protect themselves from further harm.

Tactics Breakdown – The Abuse Cycle

  • Tension Building: Increased stress and conflict
  • Incident: The abusive act or event
  • Reconciliation: Apologies, promises, or calm behavior
  • Calm: Temporary peace before the cycle repeats

Break the Cycle

Understanding this pattern is vital to healing and safety planning.

Seek support and create boundaries to disrupt the cycle.
