A 30-second quiz for childhood exposure to domestic violence. Did you experience CDV?
While almost 1 billion people alive today grew up living with domestic violence, few know what to call that experience and a big part of the solution, is knowing what to call it. When you grow up in a home living with domestic violence, that’s called Childhood Domestic Violence and it’s the least known adverse childhood experience. (ACE)
We developed the CDV Screening to help you understand whether you experienced childhood domestic violence. Understanding what to call it is the first step. And as a leading researcher recently said, “Even a small change in perspective can transform a life.”
PTSD and childhood domestic violence
PTSD was officially named in 1980, giving millions the powerful gift of being able to name and understand what had happened to them. In that same way, naming Childhood Domestic Violence (CDV) is often the first step toward healing—finally being able to identify and make sense of an experience that may have shaped a life in silence.
What’s more, numerous studies show a strong connection between growing up with CDV and developing symptoms of PTSD later in life.
So, the two share something profound: both carry deep wounds, and both begin to heal the moment they are named.
You can unlearn what was learned
Experiencing Childhood Domestic Violence negatively wires a developing brain and the formation of the cognitive belief system.
It instills a common cluster of negative beliefs that, if unchallenged, can last well into adulthood, leading to emotional, psychological, relationship, substance abuse, physical health, and career and education challenges.
The good news? You can unlearn what was learned. Take the screening to uncover the first steps.
