Podcasts about Physical abuse

Send us a textIt is an absolute pleasure to have Dr Maurice Turmel on the show for a candid, relatable, and inspiring chat. Dr. Moe's path wasn't a straight one—it was hard-won. His father was physically abusive, and he grew up surrounded by strict Catholic indoctrination. Emerging from a childhood marked by emotional trauma, religious repression, and self-doubt, he forged a transformative journey of healing and self-emancipation. His life's work is a testament to the power of the human spirit to rise. Over the decades, he broke free from harmful early programming and came to embrace a simple, liberating truth. Turmel spent more than 25 years in clinical practice, counselling individuals, families, and organizations. His message pulses through his writing, music, and teachings. Dr. Turmel has authored numerous books including his latest, Breaking the Spell of Religion & Healing the Trauma. Thank you Maurice!

Send us a textThis week Sydney Curtin joins us for an amazing episode that shows just how trauma can affect choices, and that it is possible to use our own traumatic experiences for good as we continue to recover. At just 13 years old, Sydney lost her Mother to suicide, after years of drug addiction. Her father became abusive in the aftermath, and Sydney would continue to dive into unhealthy relationships though her teens and into adulthood. At 20, she became pregnant by a man that was violent and not fit to be a father, and so she made the difficult decision to give her daughter up for adoption. With no support, no one to help guide her through her decision, and red-tape and contracts that didn't make sense, she ended up losing contact with her daughter even though she had believed it was an open adoption allowing her to stay in contact with her daughter as she grew up. Her experience led her to begin looking into adoption laws, and seeking reform, to help other mothers, but also prospective parents, really understand their choices. Sydney successfully changed legislation on open adoption in Idaho, advocating for ethical reform and transparency, making her a powerful public advocate.

This survivor story comes with warning signs about adult, profane language, hard, drug usage, violence, and descriptions of situations that might have a triggering effect on some listeners. The WHEN DATING HURTS podcast is showing how terrible dating abuse and domestic violence can get. This is part three of a three-part story.

These monsters want to control us for whatever ill-conceived uses they want to make of us. We will see how Natalie's relationship with her father set her on a path specifically with men, where she was seeking love but receive nothing that came close to it. But that didn't stop her from trying. Natalie is a brave person to come to us with this story. It is her hope we can learn from the mistakes she made.

A car ride with a narcissist can quickly shift from routine to one of the most dangerous and controlling dynamics in the relationship.   In this episode, I'm talking about something I see all the time in my work: how narcissists use driving as a form of coercive control. The car becomes more than just a way to get from one place to another. It becomes a tool for power, manipulation, and fear. If you've ever felt anxious, unsafe, or completely stuck during what should be a simple drive, you're not imagining it.   I share the patterns I hear from clients again and again: partners making them late on purpose, driving recklessly, refusing to hand over the keys, or locking the doors to prevent them from getting out. These aren't accidents. These are tactics.   I also walk through real strategies you can use if you're in this kind of situation. Things like not revealing how important an event is, finding alternate transportation when possible, and staying emotionally neutral when you're being baited. They're small steps, but they can help you take back a sense of control when everything else feels chaotic.   If any of this sounds familiar, I hope this episode helps you name it, and start finding ways to protect your time, your energy, and your autonomy.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction  02:32 Significance of Driving in Narcissistic Abuse 04:00 Control and Independence in Driving 06:08 Ownership and Control of the Car 10:23 Reckless Driving to Instill Fear 12:22 Creating Fear and Providing Safety 15:06 Verbal and Physical Abuse in the Car 19:55 Limiting Access to a Car 21:21 Identifying Patterns of Abuse 22:53 Strategies to Regain Control 25:56 Concrete Behaviors to Counter Manipulation   Links Connect with Dr. Z: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist https://www.youtube.com/@DrJaimeZuckerman   Get my FREE breathing exercise here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/newsletter Register for my on demand virtual courses here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/workshops Order my workbooks! *Find Your Calm / Find Good Habits* http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/books Shop my new Mindfully Messy hoodie here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/apparel Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
