@GurleyAylesha93 @KatelynCoburn7 great point. We will speak more in our presentation about how shame leads to underreporting. #VStateMFT

(2/2)Women can and do commit the same sexual offenses as men. Why are their crimes often considered less severe? #VStateMFT @VstateMFT

@RedonnoCarmon @VstateMFT Some ppl are starting to understand it can happen. But there are still ppl who believe its not possible #VStateMFT

[Ashley Lanier @ashleynlanier]

@cvrandopuloMFT @VstateMFT I agree with this. Abuse usually occurs in patterns, and it is hard to break the cycle #VStateMFT

[Ashley Lanier @ashleynlanier]

@elnewton91 @VstateMFT absolutely. Illegal or not when someone needs help we should help them. #immigrationreform #VStateMFT

@amwent87 @VstateMFT could be cultural diff of what DV means or looks like. What is violent in 1 culture may not be in another #VStateMFT

@jwhiteMFTherapy @VstateMFT while privacy is important, I think safety and protecting the victim is more important #VStateMFT

[Ashley Lanier @ashleynlanier]

@NdyeMFT @VstateMFT show them a list of what constitutes emotional abuse. Many may not know where to draw the line #VStateMFT

@KaitlynabMFT @VstateMFT (2/2) They may be less likely to call because of the fear of being stigmatized as a "frequent flyer" #VStateMFT

[Ashley Lanier @ashleynlanier]

@KaitlynabMFT @VstateMFT (1/2) Using the term "frequent flyer" perpetuates a negative stereotype for victims.

@KimberleeeeF @VstateMFT not at all! I don't think it was even mentioned. It was abstinence based sex ed so maybe that's why? #VStateMFT

[Ashley Lanier @ashleynlanier]

@ElloryBishop @VstateMFT I think adults may see it as embarrassing to talk about, or they don't have a clear definition of DV. #VStateMFT

[Ashley Lanier @ashleynlanier]

@alysonkstewart (2/2) however, since that would not always happen, I think there should be programs in schools to educate teens #VStateMFT

[Ashley Lanier @ashleynlanier]

@alysonkstewart #VStateMFT (1/2) I think in a perfect world, I would say parents should be responsible.

@jnyingling @VstateMFT powerful article. We have to remember we are all human first, and then our profession. Self care is key #VstateMFT
