Norm Therapy® takes the victim through an elaborate process of identifying their abusive circumstance(s), their strengths, their weaknesses and provides cursory solutions towards preparing the victims for a more formalized professional counselling, therapies and possible extraction from their abuse. Further, this process requires a “Last ditch effort response” on behalf of the victim. “It’s impossible to help someone who isn’t helping themselves”. This service costs ARO thousands of dollars for each group to successfully complete our Norm Therapy® program. Access to traditional abuse care treatment is limited and cost prohibited. Only a small segment of our global society are able to enjoy the services of psychologists, clinicians, therapists, psychiatrists, doctors and the like. For these reasons, ARO is currently raising monies and awareness, on the highest levels, to develop a cost free access portal to all of your abuse care related therapeutic needs. Norm Therapy® helps you to recall the origins of how events actually occur in life so you don’t have to defend the things that don’t. The only way to your truth is to trust us at ARO. We have nothing to gain but your wellness.
Call upon ARO and we will do our absolute best to guide, shelter and counsel you. Most importantly, we will help to secure you in the knowledge and understanding that your pain shall pass and your path towards healing starts with us.

Valentine’s Day is all about love! While showing love for friends, family, your significant other, and yourself should be a year-round practice, February 14th inspires many to take it one step further. For many, this includes giving a meaningful gift.
In this land of the free, abuse is woven into the foundations of numerous systems we have come to depend on. It is normalized, hidden behind metal walls and closed doors, and reinforced by oligarchic corporations that benefit from continued silence. It is because of this silence that the abuse largely goes unnoticed and unchallenged. Yet when brought to the surface, illuminated and exposed, this abuse is then repackaged by corporations to be a necessity rather than an immediate and ongoing crisis.
Most people don’t picture a male when they imagine a Victim of Domestic or Sexual Abuse. That reaction is not accidental; it’s the result of generations of gender and societal expectations that teach males from a young age to be invulnerable, unemotional, and always in control.
Many people think Emotional Abuse leaves no scars. After all, there are no bruises to point to, no broken bones to mend. But the damage runs deeper than skin. Emotional Abuse slices into the very core of a person, eroding confidence, self-worth, and identity until only fragments remain.
In the age of social media, self-absorption is routinely mistaken for self-knowledge, and a culture that indulges this confusion turns even the language meant for healing into weapons of solipsism. Language that clarifies our inner lives is now being flaunted by people who cannot distinguish a genuine boundary from mere discomfort. To hold the scalpel is not to understand the incision; to speak the words is not to inhabit their meaning.
Wait, something is off… It wasn’t the fact that I was physically shoved down to the ground by my own mother’s two wrathful hands that had smacked, pinched, and pushed me in the past – or even my father’s unsupportive silence while he was there. All of these things were my “normal.” It was you. You just stood there, and you didn’t even say a word to help me.
