6 HEARTS & FLOWERS TENSION BUILDING Apologies; promises; gifts; idealized romance; victimblaming or abuse denial, minimization; victimization becomes complete as victim wants to believe batterer and feels guilty about incident; bonding occurs; phase disappears over time. FEAR & DENIAL ACUTE BATTERING La Casa de las Madres INCIDENT Adult Crisis line hours Toll free Explosive release of tension; Batterer seems completely out of control; abuse becomes worse over time; shortest phase, 2-24 hrs. Minor incidents occur; victim feels the need to calm and placate abuser; walking on eggshells ; victim withdraws; anticipation of battering causes severe psychological stress; minor incidents increase; tension builds, and becomes too much The Cycle of Violence differs for each set of partners, each with their own unique rhythm and participant behaviors. Yet three phases are typically represented: the tension building phase, the explosion phase or acute battering incident, and the hearts and flowers phase or kindness and contrite loving behavior. Over time, the kindness and apologies of the hearts and flowers phase often disappear, and the relationship cycles continuously between tension and explosion. Because sometimes friends, relatives, and helping people become discouraged when a victim remains in a threatening situation, it is vital to understand all of the dynamics involved. Relationships do not generally begin as disruptive and abusive but become so only after an initial platform of care has been established. Victims often stay because some, however few, of their needs are being met. (See: Why People Stay in Abusive Relationships. ) The Cycle of Violence may combine with economic hardship, social conditioning, emotional attachments, cultural traditions, religious beliefs and/or other reasons to capture the victim in her own cycle of fear and denial making leaving or escaping difficult.

7 Cycle of Violence Interpersonal violence generally follows a pattern of abuse. Battered women are not constantly being abused nor does the violence occur at completely random times. Abuse tends to be inflicted in a repeating cycle that is made up of three phases. Phase One Tension Building Phase Minor incidents occur Woman tries to calm partner, using whatever she thinks will work She feels there isn't much she can do Batterer only acts out in private Batterer becomes fearful she'll leave because he/she knows the behavior is not appropriate Batterer becomes more jealous and possessive Both people try to rationalize behaviors She withdraws more and more Minor incidents increase Anticipation of battering/hurt causes severe psychological stress for women: can't sleep, loses appetite or over eats, constant fatigue, headaches etc. Tension becomes unbearable Phase Two Acute Battering Incident Release of tension that has built up in phase one Batterer loses control over his/her behavior Battering begins to teach her a lesson-not to hurt her Batterer doesn't remember much during the incident: women do Woman may try to wait out the storm rather than fighting back, thinking she'd be more hurt if she did Woman may consciously or unconsciously believe she provoked the incident, she can no longer tolerate her terror, anger, or anxiety Attack is usually followed by shock, denial, disbelief Women do not seek help during phase two unless badly hurt and tend to return to partners from emergency rooms Briefer phase than others: 2-24 hours Phase Three Kindness and Contrite Loving Behavior Welcomed by both Batterer knows he/she went to far and tries to make up Period of unusual calm Batterer is sorry, begs forgiveness, and promises never to do it again Batterer is sincere and believes he/she can control self Woman wants to believe batterer She sees (again) how wonderful he/she can be Traditional notion that "love conquers all" prevails Woman feels responsible for batterer and her own victimization Batterer reminds her of how much she is needed Each person is dependent on the other, bonding occurs Hard to break the bond in phase three, both want to make their relationship work Victimization of woman becomes complete (Adapted from Lenore Walker: Battered Women: Harper & Row Publishers New York SF 1979) La Casa de las Madres Adult Crisis line hours Toll free

Family: Extended family pressure to keep family together. Fear: Fear of being alone, of being on her/his own and that he/she can t cope with home & children by herself. Loyalty: If partner got sick he/she would stay. Pity: Feeling sorry for her/his partner. Rescue Complex: If he/she stays, he/she can save, fix, or change his/her partner. Fear of Suicide: Partner threatens suicide if he/she leaves. Denial: It s not really so bad. Partner acts like abuse is nothing. Love: Her/his partner can be loving. He/She loves his/her partner despite the abuse. Responsibility: It is her/his duty to make the relationship work. Duty: Responsibility to the relationship or marriage or belief that people must put up with abusive behavior. Guilt: Feels responsible for problems in the relationship and the abusive partner reinforces this feeling. Shame, embarrassment, and humiliation: He/She doesn t want anyone to know. Security: Wanting to live happily ever after. Identity: He/She feels a partner will make themselves complete. Low self-esteem: It must be her/his fault; he/she deserves it; he/she will never find anyone better. Sex role conditioning: The belief that one partner is dominant over the other, men can t help being violent, or women are responsible for the success of relationships. Hope: Memories of happy times, promises to change, or belief that her/his behavior will make the abuse stop. La Casa de las Madres Adult Crisis line hours Toll free

As a member of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, we adhere to quality standards that include accreditation, certification of counselors, audits and core policies to ensure quality service. We receive our funding from various sources, including grants and fees for specialized education projects. Most of our funding comes from voluntary contributions from creditors who participate in Debt Management Plans (DMP). DMPs are voluntary programs that serve the dual role of helping you repay your debts and helping creditors to receive the money owed to them. Since creditors have a financial interest in getting paid, most are willing to make a contribution to help fund our agency. The contributions are usually calculated as a percentage of payments you make through your DMP - up to fifteen percent (15%) of each payment received. However, your accounts with your creditors will be credited with one hundred percent (100%) of the amount you pay through us.

58 Income Calculate your monthly income. If you know what your gross pay (before taxes and other deductions) is, please enter that. However, net pay (face value of your check) is the more important figure. Include variable income received each month, such as commissions, as well as periodic income, such as a large tax refund or bonus. This will have to be divided by 12 to get the monthly figure.

59 Expenses Enter your monthly expenses below. Since many expenses are variable, such as utilities and groceries, it is important to average these expenses. Other expenses are periodic (such as insurance or vehicle registration). Calculate the annual amount of these expenses then divide by 12.

61 Consumer Credit Counseling Service of San Francisco 595 Market Street 15th Floor San Francisco, CA fax Agreement for Counseling Services Please read the following statements carefully. Initial the line next to each statement to indicate understanding. (The singular is used even when the plural may apply.) I understand the agency will provide a confidential personal money management, housing, and/or credit report consultation after which I will receive a written action plan consisting of recommendations for handling my finances, possibly including referrals to other services and agencies as appropriate. I understand that some of CCCS funding comes from voluntary contributions from creditors who participate in the Debt Management Plan (DMP). Since creditors have a financial interest in getting paid, most are willing to make a contribution to help fund CCCS. These contributions are usually calculated as a percentage of the payments I make through my DMP-up to fifteen percent (15%) of each payment received. However, my accounts with my creditors will always be credited with one hundred percent (100%) of the amount I pay. The absence of a creditor contribution will not affect CCCS willingness to work with that creditor. I understand that if I opt to begin a DMP, my participation may affect my credit report and credit score, depending on my creditors policies with respect to the DMP and my payment record prior to and during my participation in a DMP. A DMP could have a negative impact on a credit worthiness decision by a potential creditor, landlord or employer in the future. In addition, creditors may report that I am on a DMP and not paying as originally agreed although they have accepted a reduced payment. The agency has no responsibility or obligation for any past, present, or future credit rating I receive. The DMP will include my unsecure debt and may include certain secured debts. COPYRIGHT 2011 CCCSSF REV0311 I understand that while a DMP may be an option available to me for debt repayment, it is not a suitable option for all clients. I understand my counselor will discuss all of my options to resolve my situation. I understand that receipt of financial counseling services does not automatically guarantee that I will participate in DMP services. I understand that, where permitted by state law, the establishment of a DMP will result in a DMP Education fee, requested prior to the implementation of the DMP, and a monthly administrative fee thereafter. I understand services provided are not contingent on payment of these fees. A counselor may answer questions and provide information about bankruptcy, but not give legal advice. If I want legal advice, I will be referred for appropriate assistance. While an attorney can make a recommendation to file bankruptcy, it is a personal choice based on individual circumstances. I may be referred to other services of the organization or another agency or agencies as appropriate that may be able to assist with particular concerns that have been identified. I understand I am not obligated to use any of the services offered to me.

62 At some time in the future, my information may be used for confidential research and/or a neutral third party may contact me to request an evaluation of the agency s services. I understand that in the event I am dissatisfied, I can utilize the Complaint Resolution Process, a copy of which is available upon request. I understand that unless I choose to opt-out, the agency will, if asked by my creditors, verify my appointment, as well as the date and results of that appointment. I further understand that I have the right to opt-out of having this information shared by calling the CCCS opt-out line ( ) as stated in the CCCS Privacy Policy. I authorize the agency to access my credit report for account verification and for confidential research in the future. I understand these reports being accessed will not have a detrimental affect on my credit score.
