Domestic Violence Counselling Course

We provide a comprehensive approach which is readily tailor made for any situation. It will likely be between 6 and 12 sessions, depending on the criteria of your particular circumstance. During the intake process, the extend of the program will be determined together with your therapist.

Written reports are available where the judicial system is involved. Our Director is recognized in the courts of Manitoba as an expert witness. All reports will be co-written and co-signed by him, and if court appearance is required he will likely be the one to attend.

The common ground between both patterns of behaviour is that both are expressions of shame. There is good shame and bad shame. The Pre-C and C pattern is an expression of bad shame and as long as this destructive emotion is present the risk to re-offend remains high.

Good shame is rooted in the foundational belief that most men and women who have used violence in intimate relationships actually prefer respect over disrespect, love over control/violence, etc.

From this perspective, the presence and intensity of shame can be seen to indicate how the offending party has violated their values about how to act in an intimate relationship. This is the process of transforming shame to empathy and violence to respectful ways of being.
