SUMMARY:Toxic Love: Breaking The Patterns of Domestic Abuse eWorkshop-21-Aug-2025
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is for community services and non-for profit organisations\, domestic violence organisations and charities\, health\, welfare and community workers who want to gain deeper insights into the mechanics behind sustained patterns of abuse\, or improve skills in working with victims and domestic violence perpetrators. \ne-workshop based on the book: Toxic Love: Breaking the addictive patterns of domestic abuse. \nClinical psychologist Indira H. Novic and men’s health expert Dean Quirke shed new light on the epidemic of intimate partner violence (IPV). They examine IPV in the context of a behavioural addiction paradigm and highlight strategies to help recognise and respond to this behaviour. \nReaching out to men motivated to stop abusing their partners\, the authors draw on a psychoeducational approach and offer strategies to break free from the cycle of violence. They invite the men to explore the nature of repetitive patterns of abusive behaviours\, and the reasons the patterns tend to escalate in frequency and severity. By dismantling the dangerous aspects of the perpetrator’s personality – that may have become addicted to abusing their partners\, perpetrators feel freer to create healthier relationships. \nThe authors also help the victims to understand what drives an abuser to repeatedly abuse them. Equally important goal is to assist victims to heal from the trauma of abuse. \nToxic Love: Breaking the addictive patterns of domestic abuse \nAuthors: Indira H. Novic and Dean Quirke Info about the book on Amazon.com: https://www.amazon.com.au/Toxic-Love-Breaking-Addictive-Patterns-ebook/dp/B08YCYNWLN \nIn attending our 3-hour workshop: \n\n\nYou’ll learn the difference between situational couple violence and sustained pattern of violence (sustained pattern of violence: 95-98% of abusers are men). These two types of domestic violence have different root causes and consequences for the victims. \n\n\n\n\nYou’ll better understand Cobra vs. Pit Bull typology. You’ll also learn why men using Cobra type of abusive behaviours rarely benefit from attending Men’s Behaviour Change Program. \n\n\nYou’ll learn about coercive control and why it is referred to as intimate terrorism. You’ll hear why criminalising coercive control makes sense \n\n\nWhen: Thursday 21st August from 9.30am to 12.30pm. (AEST) \nWhere: Online eWorkshop via Zoom.
