Silence and secrecy also surround domestic violence and rape, both as control tactics and as part of the self-shaming that survivors exhibit (2011, MCADSV). Survivors report that they are concerned about not being believed or understood as critical barriers to reaching out for help. For many survivors, breaking the isolation and speaking out about their abuse are some of the most powerful steps toward self-empowerment (2011,MCADSV). They report finding great comfort when talking among peers who have shared a similar exerience, and that being able to talk it out helps gain the confidence necessary to continue their path toward independence from their abusers or their pasts (ibid). When group members are peers and when facilitators are trained in the dynamics of domestic and sexual violence, support groups can provide an effective forum for relief from the isolation and an accessible forum for speaking out about personal trauma.
