'Abuse is abuse, irrespective of whether it occurs online or offline.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'Why do we accept abuse in society, as long as it does not affect us directly?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'Self-abuse in its many forms, whether obvious or subtle, is a common everyday experience for many. Have we forgotten that we are worth cherishing, not trashing?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'If we do not accept men as naturally very sensitive, and nurture and foster their sensitivity in every way, are we not rejecting their natural nature and asking if not demanding they be hard, tough, or rough? Do we have a responsibility to support men to live their natural qualities if we truly do not want to live in a world where sometimes men can become abusive? Whilst men are absolutely responsible if they choose to be abusive, we ought to foster men to live naturally rather than allowing if not expecting them to be who they are not. And if we have an issue with men being sensitive, have we asked ourselves why? In other words, what do we get to avoid dealing with by keeping men desensitised?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'Why are we the only species on the planet with high rates of self-abuse? And why is it so hard not to self-abuse in any way, when what we are abusing is our own body that we live in 24/7?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'Sexual abuse within families can remain hidden for years before being exposed, which often results in a whole host of psychological issues for those involved (for example, low self worth, lack of trust in people, low self-confidence and ongoing relationship difficulties). Supporting our communities by bringing more awareness and understanding to this topic is paramount in arresting this form of abuse'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'Abuse destroys people, hence the great importance of addressing it in our relationships so it does not tarnish what is otherwise a loving relationship'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
