Summary/Abstract: In today's society, seeking psychological counseling or therapy remains a stigmatized topic. Often, individuals face negative perceptions from others who do not recognize the benefits of counseling, making it even more challenging to seek help. Furthermore, the main purpose of counseling is to support clients in understanding and clarifying their perspectives on life and their environment. Thus, it facilitates better information regarding possible solutions for emotional and interpersonal problems. Through this bachelor’s thesis, I aimed to identify the reasons behind women’s acceptance of certain risky situations, including domestic violence, highlight the main warning signs of these risky situations, and discover the coping strategies women generally use, especially those with violent partners. To achieve my objectives, I interviewed five victims who are beneficiaries of the Social Services Center for Adults in Difficulty: Emergency Reception Center for Victims of Domestic Violence, Iași.
