Hi my name is Reka Morvay, I'm a psychologist and I'm going to talk to you today about signs of an abusive relationship. The most obvious sign of an abusive relationship is physical abuse. If you find yourself physically threatened, physically hurt, needing medical attention, especially, then this is one very clear, very obvious sign that you are in an abusive relationship. There is no reason, absolutely zero reason that you should be getting physically hurt in your relationship. Another sign of an abusive relationship is if you find yourself isolated from people that matter to you, your family, your friends, especially if this is an important point in your relationship, that you have to prioritize your relationship to the exclusion of your other relationships and your other social networks that might help you deal with problems. A third sign of an abusive relationship might be your own reaction to the situation. Do you feel happy, do you feel fulfilled. If you find that you are sliding into depression, if you are nervous, if you are tense, if the thought of your relationship fills you with fear and nervousness and leaves a big knot in your stomach and that you can not discuss it with your partner because you fear their reaction, this might be another sign of an abusive relationship. It is very important if you think that you are in an abusive relationship to seek help, go talk to your friends, talk to your family, seek professional advice about how to get out of a potentially abusive situation.
