Documentation and Domestic and Family Violence

Whilst travelling to work today I was thinking about clients who have been going through various court processes and the successes and failures they have faced.

One common theme is the importance of documentation. This is different to journalling. Journalling is all about your journey, your healing, your release from oppression and being held back and eventually, your freedom. Documentation is about the other party, specifically two things:

• Identifying patterns of behaviour and their effects on yourself and your family. Reviewing documentation can often provide a lot of understanding and insight into the other party's behaviour.
• Gathering evidence that is sound and support you in your understanding as well as court proceedings.

So some time in the next few days I hope to develop a new page on documentation with some sage advice from experienced clients and practitioners.
