How to use "Resisting" in context?
When we first hear the word "Resisting," we might think about physically pushing someone away or trying to run away from an attacker. But resisting in a different way can also be just as important, such as refusing to cooperate with an abuser. Here are five things to remember when resisting an abuser:
1. Remain calm. Oftentimes, the abuser will try to create a tense and volatile environment in order to make you more compliant. This means that you need to keep your cool and not react in a way that will make the situation worse.
2. Don't trust your instincts.
