TURMERIC FOR SKIN: HEALTH BENEFITS & USAGE

Abusive relationships are easy to slip into and difficult to leave. One of the worst aspects of abusive relationships is that the abuser often makes you feel like the abuse is your fault and that you deserve it. If you suspect that you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship, don’t lose hope. It is not your fault, and you can leave.

Types of Abuse

Psychological Abuse

Psychological abuse often starts slowly, and it can be difficult to recognize in the beginning. Many abusers start relationships by showering their partners with love, affection, and even gifts. Signs of psychological abuse from your partner include:

• Feeling like you’re “walking on eggshells” when they’re around
• Embarrassing or humiliating you, maybe even saying “it was a joke”
• Making you feel like you’re crazy by denying or changing events that happened, usually when confronted
• Ignoring you, excluding you, or otherwise refusing to communicate
• Isolating you from your friends and/or family
• Constantly calling or texting when you are away from you
• Controlling where you go or what you do
• Making rules about how you dress or otherwise controlling your appearance
• Threatening consequences for doing certain things, especially leaving
• Controlling your finances and using money to control you
• Using children or pets to manipulate you
• Irrational and intense jealousy
• Blaming you and making you feel responsible for their emotions (“You make me feel angry”)
• They blame you for things that aren’t your fault
• You feel trapped in your relationship and may feel like you can’t leave
• They say or make you feel like no one else will love you

Physical Abuse

Physical abuse doesn’t usually start with your partner attacking you out of the blue. You may notice warning signs such as:

• Not having respect for your property, or breaking your things out of anger
• Punching walls or doors, throwing objects, etc.
• They yell during disagreements or when they’re upset

Physical abuse escalates quickly, and the biggest indicator that your partner may kill you is choking; domestic violence victims who have been choked just once are 750% more likely to be killed at the hands of their abusers.

Being in an abusive relationship can often mean losing important parts of your identity, like your independence, your friends, your hobbies, or even your family, making it hard to leave even after you recognize the abuse.

If you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship, begin making a plan to leave as soon as possible. If contacting the domestic violence shelters prior to leaving is not an option, you should consider making a doctor’s appointment. Doctors often have subtle ways you can let them know that you are in an abusive relationship and need to speak to them privately. If you no longer have a support system due to the abuse, this is a great option, and they will be able to contact local domestic violence resource centers for you.

Remember: You don’t have to stay in an abusive relationship, abuse is not your fault, and you deserve a life free from abuse.

If you notice a lull in your relationship, you may be reading a lot of articles focused on how to spice things up in the bedroom. However, if communication in your relationship is lacking, no amount of lingerie or sex tips will fix the problem. One way that will bring back some passion and heat back into your relationship is by focusing on effective communication with your spouse.

Set Aside Time to Give Each Other Undivided Attention
If you already have date nights, they’re a great time to try out going technology free for a night. You can also have a certain time of day that you get together without screens. Many people choose to have a screen-free dinner together, especially if you have children. It’s a great way to connect and find out what’s going on in each other’s lives.

Use “I” Statements
When you say “I feel,” rather than “you …” you turn the focus on yourself, making the other person feel less defensive. For instance, if your spouse accidentally spilled wine on your favorite white rug, you may get upset and say “You ruined my rug, you’re so thoughtless!” This leads to you feeling upset, and the other person feeling blamed, and defensive. Instead, use an “I” statement, such as “I was upset when I saw that the rug was stained because I can’t afford a new one.” This will not only let the other person know how you are feeling, but it allows you to reflect and understand why you are feeling a certain way, instead of shifting the blame.

Rephrase and Repeat Back Answers
Sometimes in a relationship, we think we’re communicating, but your spouse doesn’t necessarily hear what you think you said. When you’re having a conversation, especially about something important, rephrase and repeat back their answers to your questions to make sure you are both on the same page.

Pay Attention to Body Language
Pay attention to your partner’s body language, as well as your own. Make sure you are making eye contact that is not aggressive or threatening but lets your spouse know that you are listening and attentive. Turn towards each other, and hold hands or touch each other if you feel more connected that way.

Be Explicitly Clear
Many times in a relationship, you feel like the other person “should know” how you feel, what they did wrong, or why you are upset. This can lead to bad feelings on both sides. It’s important to not assume that the other person knows how you are feeling, or why. Passive-aggressive communications lead to resentment, anger, and feelings of isolation. Communicate clearly so that you can build a better relationship together.

If you feel like you and your partner are experiencing some disconnect, or that the spark is gone, try to go back to basics and work on effective communication. You may be surprised at how much it affects your relationship, and love life.

Is your task list making you stressed? Do you have clutter around you that is making you feel unsettled? Do you not know where to start when faced with a big project? Organization is the key to success!

Clean it Up

Experts agree that when our spaces are cluttered, we feel out of sorts. Getting rid of clutter takes a little time, but it is easy and well worth it. Start in one location and don’t get overwhelmed! Start at the dining room table or on your dresser in your room. Grab a trash can and start with eliminating the trash. Once that is done, divide items into things that need to be put away and things that need action. Put everything away in your pile. For things that need your action, start a list.

Tackling the List

Once you have gone through your space eliminating clutter, you have a list of things to do that you’ve created. Divide your list into like things. For example, tasks that require action on your computer go together. Mark items off as you complete them. What a sense of accomplishment! Items on your list may take a little longer; keep them on your list until they are complete. Instead of marking it off with a big check, annotate that you are working on it by putting a big dot next to it. Turn that dot into a check when it’s done!

Procrastination

Putting things off will only create disorganization. If you touch it, do what you need to do with it! For mail, for example, once you bring it in, don’t move it from counter to table! Open everything, shred the junk, file the bills, and place the informational stuff in one place that you’ve designed for that type of material.  For dishes, don’t put that dish in the sink when you can put it straight into the dishwasher.

Getting organized takes some effort and staying organized takes dedication, but the lack of stress caused by disorganization will make it all worth it!
