Question 1

What should I do if I am in danger right now?

Accepted Answer

Therapy is not an emergency service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. For confidential help any hour of the day (safety planning, local shelters, legal advocacy), the National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788. Ongoing therapy is something to arrange alongside that, not instead of it.

Question 2

Do I need to have left the relationship to start therapy?

Accepted Answer

Leaving is not a requirement for getting support. Therapy is open to you whether you are still in the relationship, deciding, or out, and you set what you talk about and how fast.

Question 3

Do I have to talk about what happened?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

Will my partner find out I am in therapy?

Accepted Answer
