Podcasts about domestic abuse

On the new episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome the first man ever to be featured on the show — Olyn Sexton. Olyn is a retired law enforcement officer, tactical firearms instructor, and the CEO of the Lindsey Pilkington Memorial Foundation. This is a powerful and inspiring conversation about empowering women, protecting women, and carrying on the legacy of someone you love. This episode continues our special month-long series on SASSGO and the life-changing I Will Survive Weekend. SASSGO is a nonprofit organization that protects women and girls from assault and exploitation through education, self-defense, and empowerment — and Olyn is one of the dedicated instructors helping to elevate that mission. In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ Olyn's journey from law enforcement officer to instructor — and how his experiences in life and on the job transformed the way he serves and protects others today; ✨ How he became involved with SASSGO, Fortis Tactical, and the I Will Survive Weekend — and why he's so passionate about empowering women through tactical firearms training, self-defense, and situational awareness; ✨ The story of Lindsey Pilkington — a bright light, fierce fighter, and dear friend — whose life was tragically cut short, but whose legacy lives on through the Lindsey Pilkington Memorial Foundation; ✨ How grief and loss led Olyn to a deeper purpose, healing, and mission — and how he now walks alongside others through their own journeys of training and healing; ✨ The importance of showing up, listening, and standing in the gap for others — especially women and survivors; ✨ And so much more.

This week, we look at the outcome of the case against Sean ‘Diddy' Combs in the US - and how evidence of domestic abuse, coercive control, and power dynamics were ignored and misunderstood with the help of our media. We also discuss those viral videos of fans queuing to see Chris Brown, a convicted abuser, on the same week he stands trial for Grievous Bodily Harm. After the break, welfare is taking a bashing on both sides of the Atlantic. But did you know the UK and US already fall far down the rankings when it comes to state benefits? Labour has been ridiculed for yet another ‘U-turn', as benefit cuts are reversed and Rachel Reeves' crying face is plastered on every front page. Is it the ableism of the U-turn coverage, or the sexism or the Reeves coverage, that'll win this week's media storm prize? We end with Eyes on Palestine - has the world had the wool pulled over its eyes by Netanyahu's "new aid plan"?

Ailbhe Connelly, our Social Affairs Correspondent and Paul Cunningham Political Correspondent assess the reaction to the Women's Aid report.

There were 32,144 contacts to the Women's Aid service in 2024, a rise of 12% compared to the previous year and the highest in the organisation's 50-year history. The figures released in the charity's latest annual impact report also expressed concern about what it has described as "the inconsistent response" from members of An Garda Síochána.

This is one of the most common—and most heartbreaking—questions I hear: Can a narcissist change? In this episode of You Are Not Crazy, I'm walking you through the reality behind that question.The short answer? Maybe—but almost never.Real change requires emotional accountability, humility, and deep psychological work… and most narcissists aren't willing to do that. Not because they can't—but because they don't see the need. In this episode, we explore why narcissistic change is so rare, how survivors get stuck waiting for the version of their partner that never existed, and what it means to reclaim your clarity instead of waiting for someone else's transformation.I also share a personal reflection on what helped me break free from the fantasy of potential and face the truth of what was in front of me.You'll learn:Why even accurate criticism feels unbearable to a narcissistWhat it actually takes to change—and why most won'tHow the trauma bond keeps you holding onHow to stop waiting and start healing✨ This episode pairs with my new course Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse, designed to help you make sense of the chaos and see your relationship clearly.

Alone I can do so little, but collectively we can really facilitate a change in the world around narcissistic abuse, domestic abuse and coercive control. And if you feel like your experiences must lead to somewhere, this master class could be for you. And of course, if not, ignore all of this.https://carolinestrawson.com/purpose-masterclass?ref=podcastIn today's episode, I'm talking about the physiology of gaslighting because most conversations about gaslighting focus on psychology, thoughts, beliefs, and mental manipulation. Today we flip that lens and explore the physiology: the tangible, bodily sensations that whisper, “Something isn't right,” long before your conscious mind can name it.I'll explain what gaslighting is, why? I never even knew what it was when I was in my relationship with my ex-husband and how it is a tool that abuses use to manipulate and control you. So if you've ever thought you were crazy in conversations with your partners, Ex partners or parents And never understood why, this episode is a must listen to. This form of psychological abuse is hidden and unseen and because there are no visible bruises, many of us don't even realise it's a form of abuse.Don't ever be alone in your journey and make sure you come and join my private Facebook community, No Visible Bruises where you can connect with other survivors of narcissistic abuse, domestic abuse and coercive control:https://www.facebook.com/groups/novisiblebruises.Disclaimer: The views and opinions shared in this podcast are those of the individuals involved and are intended for informational and educational purposes only.

Welcome to today's episode of Making Sense of Domestic Abuse. In the United States alone, over 10 million people experience domestic violence each year. These are not just statistics—they are real stories of pain, resilience, and, ultimately, hope. Today, we're joined by someone who has lived through the darkness and emerged with a mission to shine a light for others. Lindsay Abernathy is a mother of four, an accomplished actress, and the host of the podcast Bitch Is A Bad Word: A Domestic Abuse Survivors Guide. Through candid conversations and expert insights, Lindsay empowers survivors to recognize abuse, reclaim their voices, and rebuild their lives.  Lindsay Abernathy's journey is one of transformation. Known for her roles in productions like Fast Five, The Walking Dead, and Avengers Assemble! Lindsay's on-screen presence was a mask for her battle off-screen. As a survivor of domestic violence and abuse, she turned her mess into her message. As an advocate she has created a platform where survivors can find solidarity and strength. Her podcast, Bitch Is A Bad Word, is a testament to her commitment to breaking the silence and stigma surrounding domestic violence.    ►Follow Lindsay Abernathy and Bitch is a Bad Word: Instagram: / nitchisabadwordpod   Youtube: / @BitchIsABadWord Podcast:  / https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/bitch-is-a-bad-word-a-domestic-violence-podcast/id1780948251  Resources: 331-248-2437 (BITCHES) Domestic Abuse Hotline: 24 hour/day - 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE)   Welcome to the Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick Podcast: This podcast covers topics that expand human consciousness and performance.

When you're breaking a trauma bond or coming to terms with the end of a manipulative relationship, it doesn't just bruise you—it shatters something inside. This kind of grief defies logic. You're not just mourning a relationship. You're grieving the version of you who believed in it, the future you imagined, and the love you gave so fully.I walk through what this heartbreak really is—and what it isn't. It's not weakness. It's not over-sensitivity. It's a nervous system crash after prolonged emotional chaos. It's what happens when your love was real, but the relationship was built on manipulation, betrayal, or broken promises.Inside this episode:Why grief after narcissistic abuse feels unbearableThe emotional rollercoaster of detaching from someone who hurt youHow shame, self-blame, and rumination keep you stuckWhy you still miss them, even when they treated you badlyA reminder that your pain is a reflection of your depth—not a flawSupport the show*New Course*: Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse in your Relationship Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner
