Background to the figures on violence
Talking About Violence: A Community for Healing and Resistance
At Tal om Vold, we offer a non-therapeutic group program that functions as a safe supplement to your healing process. Here you meet others who have experienced violence in close relationships, and together we create a space - online or physically - where there is room to share, listen and find alternative paths. The program is based on well-documented methods such as collective healing, peer-to-peer and witnessing, and we work with a focus on response-based practice and resistance actions, so that you can rediscover the resources to take control of your life.
What makes Talking About Violence unique?
Collective Healing: Resources in the Community
When we share our experiences with others who have experienced similar situations, a safe space for healing is created. When we have been exposed to violence, we can often feel very alone – in the group we experience something completely unique, namely being able to reflect ourselves in the experiences of others, and that they can reflect themselves in ours. We discover that we are not alone, and reflect together on the impacts of violence and ways forward.
At Tal om Vold, we create an environment where you can feel seen and heard. The group dynamic makes it possible to rebuild trust – both in yourself and in others.
Peer-to-peer: Equal support and new perspectives
In our groups, we see you as an expert on your own life and experiences. Facilitators guide participants to share reflections and perspectives with each other – always with a focus on recognition.
Instead of providing solutions or advice, we create the framework for you to find your own answers and discover or rediscover your own resources. The peer-to-peer method strengthens the community and gives you the opportunity to see new ways forward, inspired by your own and others' experiences.
Witnessing: Being Seen and Empowered
Sharing your story and being witnessed by others is a powerful way to see yourself and your experiences in a different way. When you share your experience of violence in the group, it is seen as a resource because just talking about the violence has a soothing effect. It can help you tell your story in a new way that strengthens your understanding of yourself when others retell your story in their own words and perspectives.
Response-based practice: Focus on acts of resistance
We work with a response-based approach that focuses on your reactions and actions in the encounter with violence. Our method recognizes that violence is not only about the harm, but also about how you have responded to protect yourself and those you care about. These actions, large and small, demonstrate your ability to navigate difficult and complex situations, and the group supports you in identifying your own strengths and resources – and creates a space where you can work on them at your own pace.
Why choose Talk About Violence?
- You are welcomed as you are and given space to share in a safe and respectful community, where you can spar with and reflect on others with similar experiences.
