Are you with someone who CONSTANTLY PUTS YOU DOWN OR MAKES YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT YOURSELF? Are you WALKING ON EGGSHELLS TO MAINTAIN BALANCE, but feel mostly off-balance? Are your OPINIONS IGNORED and IMPORTANT ISSUES SELDOM RESOLVED? Are you being ISOLATED FROM SOCIAL CONTACTS, FAMILY & FRIENDS? Do you feel that YOU ARE TO BLAME for the mistreatment from your partner?

If you answered “YES” to two or more of these questions, consider the possibility that you are being emotionally or psychologically abused.

An emotional wound is as bad as a physical wound. More women experience emotional abuse than physical abuse.

Emotional abuse leads to depression, drug abuse, fearfulness, suicide and even murder. The victim begins to hate herself and she may carry a great sense of shame.

Overcoming Powerlessness (OCP) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated entirely to the education, support, and awareness of individuals who seek to break patterns that maintain psychologically abusive behavior in order to begin a journey toward personal growth and overcoming powerlessness.

OCP EXISTS TO:

• Encourage women to take appropriate action
• Enable women to recover their self respect
• Educate women about healthy relationships
• Empower women toward health self-protection and responsible self care
• Promote awareness of emotional abuse and its debilitating effects
