What does being truly heard by someone else feel like to you? ✨

The human connection in therapy gives clients a space to be vulnerable, the opportunity to be accepted, the chance to build trust, and to share their story through the broad spectrum of human modes of communication: things such as tone, body language, and expression.

Grief is not always visible

At Deaf4Deaf, we create safe spaces to name grief and resist silence.



For Deaf people, grief can take many forms — and often, society doesn’t recognise it.

Trigger warning: Question posed to us:

Reflection & Awareness – let open the space to talk about breaking cycles of shame and silence in our community.

Why do abusers keep abusing?

Abuse is not random — it’s rooted in patterns of power, control, trauma, and learned behaviour.

🔹 Why abusers carry on:
1️⃣ Power & Control – dominance can feel rewarding.
2️⃣ Learned Behaviour – repeating what they saw growing up.
3️⃣ Unresolved Trauma – hurt people sometimes hurt others.
4️⃣ Entitlement – “I’m owed this” or oppressive beliefs.
5️⃣ Lack of Consequences – no one holds them accountable.
6️⃣ Denial – minimising or excusing their actions.

🔹 How abuse can stop:
✅ Abusers must take responsibility & commit to change.
✅ Survivors need safety, support & empowerment (not blame).
✅ Communities must speak out & refuse to stay silent.
✅ Systems need stronger protections & education on respect, consent & healthy relationships.

👉 In short: abuse continues because it “works” for the abuser — until they are held accountable.

💜 Survivors are never responsible for stopping abuse. Change must come from the abuser, the community, and the system.

Trigger warning:
We’ve recommended people to watch this:

On BBC iplayer.

BBC’s Unforgivable – A drama that makes us stop and think.

There are no deaf actors though.

Jimmy McGovern’s new drama Unforgivable is raw, moving and sometimes very hard to watch. It tells the story of a family shattered by abuse and the silence that follows.

Why it matters:
💬 Silence & Communication – Trauma often leaves people unable to speak out.
💔 Family Trauma – Abuse doesn’t just affect one person – it ripples through the whole family.
⚖️ Forgiveness & Justice – The story asks: Can abusers change? Can families ever forgive?
🌱 Different Types of Abuse – While the focus is sexual abuse, it also helps shine a light on emotional, physical, and systemic abuse that often remain hidden.
🛑 Breaking the Silence – Encourages open conversations about cycles of shame, stigma, and harm.

It’s a heavy watch, but it can help raise awareness and spark reflection about how abuse impacts lives – and how healing and justice might begin.

Would love it if Lumo TV could produce a series like this, or if any writers can create one. Deafinitely Theatre for a play? This would increase awareness.
