On Thursday night, Hyland received Variety’s first Courage Award in recognition of her work in animal welfare and domestic violence awareness.
She spoke candidly about surviving domestic violence and why it was relevant to share her story.
“For thousands of years we didn’t talk about it,” she said of DV.
She added: “The community hasn’t shared enough, I don’t think. And I think as we talk about it more, more women – and men and just people in general in abusive relationships – will feel more comfortable being able to talk about it with their loved ones rather than letting their abuser isolate from everyone. , and that’s the first thing they do so you don’t have that community.”

Hyland emphasized the importance of being vocal to help others in need.
And she noted that post-traumatic stress caused by abuse often lingers even after survivors have ended the unhealthy relationship.
According to an account of Peoplethe sitcom star said:[It stays] in that abused place of your soul, where all the time you think it’s your fault and that you could have done better, that you could have gotten out of it sooner, that you could have told people.’
“I completely understand the dissociation pattern of it,” she said. “I feel very guilty about it myself… until something happens that triggers me, and I didn’t realize that part of me wasn’t healed.”
And she thought, “I don’t know if that’s part of it [of] every woman will one day completely recover from this. It’s something that scars her soul a little. It’s giving more love to that scar, instead of hating and ignoring it.’
In June, Bowen recalled helping her former co-star, Sarah, out of an abusive relationship in 2014. the actress filed for a restraining order against ex-boyfriend Matt Prokop.
