Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a rising issue in Bhutan and has pervaded Bhutanese women’s lives silently. The information about Bhutanese women’s help seeking behaviours is scarce. This study aimed to explore the sensitising concepts about how and when Bhutanese women recognised IPV and responded to it. Fifteen women who had experienced IPV and seeking support services at RENEW (Respect, Educate, Nurture, Empower Women) were interviewed. Thematic analysis was used to establish the patterns of responses and finalise themes to better understand the phenomenon under enquiry. Six distinct turning points were identified which motivated women’s help-seeking behaviours. These include: 1) Increased threats to self-esteem and dignity, 2) Failure to change his behaviours, 3) Increased severity of violence, 4) Concerns for parents, 5) Gaining positive support, and 6) Reflecting and rewinding the experience of IPV. These novel findings highlight the importance of knowledge, positive response, and individual values in relation to women’s help-seeking behaviours. This article makes recommendations for relevant practice and policy makers in Bhutan to positively influence women’s help-seeking behaviours
