Podcasts about Psychological abuse

Can you find gratitude for what an experience taught you without being grateful that it happened?On this episode of Groove with Portia, I sit down with author Nicole Kranz for a candid conversation about toxic relationships, psychological abuse, self-respect and what it takes to rediscover yourself after leaving a relationship that changed you.Nicole shares why she doesn't believe healing requires forgiving or forgetting. Instead, she found an unexpected form of gratitude—not for the harm she experienced, but for the lessons she carried forward. One of the biggest was learning the power of saying no and understanding that self-respect is a boundary worth protecting.We also challenge one of the most common questions asked of people experiencing abusive or controlling relationships: “Why didn't you just leave?” Nicole explains why leaving can be far more complicated than it appears from the outside and challenges friends and loved ones to ask a different question: “How can I help you?”Nicole also opens up about what she describes as an “entire reset” of herself. Rebuilding required confronting shame, sadness, old patterns and beliefs about herself while learning what it meant to truly respect the woman she was becoming.Her novel, This Is Bullsh*t, Not a Love Story, draws from those experiences and challenges us to recognize the difference between love and a relationship where respect has disappeared.This conversation isn't about putting a positive spin on trauma. It's about what can happen when anger no longer gets to write the rest of your story.Sometimes finding your groove means looking back at the person you once were with compassion, choosing yourself and deciding you're no longer willing to settle. As Nicole shared at the end of our conversation, part of her journey was realizing that the first person she needed to be able to count on was herself.Connect with Nicole Kranz: nicolekranz.com

Sponsored recommendation:Growing in Love for Life Someone recently asked if I'm dating, and my honest answer was "traumatized." In this episode I talk about why that word fits better than a simple yes or no, why a recent connection activated me so quickly, and why my nervous system goes numb instead of excited at the thought of dating.I get into how healing recalibrates the way we read people, why familiar can feel safe even when it isn't, and why real consistency can feel boring at first. I also talk about the messy middle of healing, the part most people want to skip, and why it's actually where the real work happens.If you want support working through any of this, you can find me at emotionalabusecoach.com.Support the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.

Sponsored recommendation:Growing in Love for Life I break down why parallel parenting is a communication strategy built specifically for high-conflict dynamics, not a failure of one. I talk about what it actually looks like in practice: handling your own parenting time independently, limiting contact to essential topics, and removing the opportunities a high-conflict co-parent uses to twist your words or pull you into chaos.I also get into why this matters for your kids. Children don't need both homes to mirror each other. They need at least one that's emotionally predictable, and that predictability helps them regulate, trust their own instincts, and understand that love doesn't have to feel confusing or conditional.Support the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.

In this episode I break down pattern blindness, one of the least talked about reasons survivors stay stuck in self-doubt. I explain why family court and even well-meaning friends tend to evaluate coercive control one incident at a time rather than seeing the system those incidents create together. I talk about my own experience trying to name what was happening in a past relationship, why the cycle of tension, rupture, and reconciliation keeps hope alive, and why documenting the pattern matters so much in custody proceedings. If you have ever wondered whether you were overreacting, this episode will help you understand what your nervous system already knows.Support the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.

Less than 10% of reported sexual assaults result in a conviction in Australia. So, what does it actually take to bring a rapist to justice? In part 2 of former police officer and survivor Caroline Clarke’s chat with Gary Jubelin, we find out exactly that. In this episode, Caroline details the aftermath of being sexually assaulted by a massage therapist - from the agonising decision to report, to becoming an active force in her case recording a confession that police called "the best they’d ever heard". Caroline also unpacks one of the most misunderstood reactions in trauma - the freeze response, a survival mechanism hardwired into all of us. Yet it still continues to be used against survivors in courtrooms, in conversations, and in their own heads. Caroline breaks down why it happens, how it works, and why the shame so many survivors carry about it is not only unfair, it's wrong. Subscribe to our new Youtube channel.

Caroline Clarke spent nearly a decade as a police officer on the rough streets of West Yorkshire chasing down criminals, working the drugs squad, and stepping into homes torn apart by domestic violence. But nothing in her training prepared her for what happened when she became a victim-survivor herself. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Caroline opens up about growing up in a home where love and violence lived side by side, the silence she inherited from her mother, and the sexual assault that left her questioning why her body froze when she thought she would fight. Caroline breaks down the freeze response, a trauma reaction still misunderstood by police, juries, and the public, and explains why survivors are so often blamed instead of believed. Caroline is now the founder of the No More Silence movement, dedicated to helping survivors break their silence and shift the shame back to where it belongs. Subscribe to our new Youtube channel.

"Coercive control" has entered the mainstream - and started to lose its precision. This episode brings it back: what coercive control actually is, what it isn't, and why the difference matters for everyone."I felt trapped in my own life." It's a phrase I hear again and again from clients, it's how I felt all those years ago,  and it captures something the technical definitions can't quite reach.In recent years, "coercive control" has moved from the margins into legislation, headlines, and dinner-table conversation. That shift is profound and overdue. But as the term has become more widely used, it has also become more loosely used - and when everything is called coercive control, the word begins to lose the meaning that the people who have genuinely lived it depend on. If everything is coercive control, then nothing is.In this episode I bring the precision back. I walk through what coercive control actually is - a deliberate, sustained pattern of behaviour designed to dominate another person and strip away their autonomy, producing fear and compliance - and some of the tactics that make it up. Then I draw the harder lines: how being "controlling" is not the same as coercive control, and how to think clearly about the trickier middle ground, including withholding contact with children, post-separation behaviour, and reactive behaviours. I also address who perpetrates coercive control: a framework that is gender-neutral in principle, alongside a statistical reality that is anything but - held in a way that erases neither women's overwhelmingly documented experience nor male victims.This is a measured conversation, on purpose. The precision I'm arguing for is exactly what the people whose lives were shaped by coercive control deserve.In this episode:What coercive control actually is - pattern, intent, domination, fear, compliance and loss of autonomyThe tactics that constitute itWhy "controlling" behaviour is not the same as coercive controlThe trickier middle ground: withholding contact, post-separation behaviour, and reactive abuseWho perpetrates coercive control - the framework, and the statisticsThree questions to ask yourself if you're unsureWhere to find support, and where to understand this in depthIf this episode gives you language for something you have been living, the work continues in the Blueprint - Module 17 in particular is the extended treatment of coercive control, the foundation the rest of it is built on.Support: If you are in Australia and need to talk to someone, 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) is available 24/7.   In an emergency, call 000.Explore the supports offered by Danielle Black CoachingThe Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™

Morgan Metzer survived a home invasion that ended with a far darker truth: the man who came to save her may have known exactly what happened. On New Year's Eve in Canton, Georgia, a masked attacker entered a locked home, used intimate knowledge of the house, and left one woman bound, beaten, and terrified. The first person to find her was the ex-husband she still trusted, but the details of the night pointed somewhere far closer to home. This is a chilling story of gaslighting, coercive control, psychological abuse, and the case that later inspired Gaslit by My Husband. Topics include The New Year's Eve home invasion at the centre of Morgan Metzer's story How gaslighting and coercive control shaped the years before the attack The warning signs of psychological abuse hidden inside an old relationship The real case behind Gaslit by My Husband Resources and Further Reading Gaslit by My Husband: The Morgan Metzer Story - Stream on Paramount Georgia man who attacked - CBS News From hero to villain - CBS News Saved by Her Ex-Husband - People.com Host & Show InfoHosts: Kyle Risi & Adam CoxIntro Music: Alice in dark WonderlandCommunity & Calls to ActionReview & follow on: Spotify & Apple PodcastsInstagram: @theCompendiumPodcastWebsite: thecompendiumpodcast.comSupport us: Sign up to PatreonCircus Job Board: Apply to join the CircusShare this episode with a friend!

In this vivid and important episode of Genuine Life Recovery, I'm joined by writer Christopher Carazas, author of the memoir Now That I'm Still Here: A Memoir of Ruin and Resurrection. Christopher shares the story of how a life that looked successful on the outside slowly collapsed under the weight of psychological abuse—and how he fought his way back after reaching the brink. From the outside, his life looked awesome. He worked around the world in places like Haiti, Mali, and Madagascar, building a career in international development. But privately, he was caught in a cycle of psychological and emotional abuse within his marriage. In this conversation, we talk about how abuse often doesn't start in overt ways. We delve into the cycle of psychological abuse and how it moves—subtle shifts, small manipulations, and moments of control that gradually become normal. Over time, the danger becomes harder to recognize, and many people find themselves living inside something they never would have accepted at the beginning. Christopher also shares how trauma doesn't simply disappear when the situation ends. The body and mind can continue carrying those survival patterns long after the danger is gone. Diagnosed with autism later in life, he reflects on how autism shaped his self-esteem, relationships, and what he was experiencing.  Most importantly, this episode is about hope—leaving, healing, and rebuilding a life after surviving the unimaginable.

Boyd Purcell is a psychotherapist and researcher widely known for his work on spiritual abuse, spiritual terrorism, and what he terms spiritual insanity. Dr. Purcell focuses on the psychological and emotional harm caused by destructive belief systems, coercive spiritual groups, cult dynamics, and manipulative leaders. Drawing from clinical practice, survivor testimony, and psychological analysis, he examines how fear-based doctrines, thought reform, and spiritual intimidation can fracture identity, damage mental health, and erode personal autonomy. His work emphasizes recovery, critical thinking, and restoring personal agency for those harmed by toxic spiritual environments.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Abuse doesn't always leave physical scars, but it always leaves an impact. In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I sit down with Annette Oltmans — survivor, author, and founder of The M3ND Project — to shine a light on the realities of emotional and covert abuse, and the all-too-common retraumatization that happens when victims seek help but are met with disbelief or dismissal. Annette's groundbreaking work on Double Abuse® gives language to what so many survivors have experienced but struggled to name. Together, we explore what emotional and covert abuse really look like, the risks of misusing terms like “gaslighting” or “narcissism” in legal contexts, and how to safeguard your credibility when telling your story in court or to professionals. We talk about why so many therapists, clergy, and attorneys still miss the signs of abuse and how you can begin finding the ones who truly understand. Most importantly, we discuss how to take those first healing steps with support that validates your experience and helps you move forward. We also highlight valuable resources from The M3ND Project, including free guides, training, and tools designed to help both survivors and professionals respond with clarity and compassion. If you've been struggling to put words to your experience or to find the right help, you are not alone. This conversation will give you insight, hope, and practical direction as you take steps to heal and rebuild your life.

James Craig's Deepfake Plot: Psychological Abuse Beyond the Grave Description: You think the poisoning was bad? Let's talk about what came next. After allegedly killing his wife Angela, James Craig didn't stop. According to prosecutors, he wrote a letter from jail asking his teenage daughter to help create a fake suicide confession video — a deepfake of Angela admitting to taking her own life. It's one of the most disturbing acts of post-crime manipulation we've seen in recent years. In this episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me to dig into the psychological abuse behind that kind of move. We're talking about emotional grooming. Family system dysfunction. And how long-term manipulation conditions people — even children — to do unthinkable things for someone they trust. We also explore what Angela's final months might have looked like under this lens. Was she being gaslit? Emotionally isolated? How does coercive control operate in “respectable” families? This isn't just about the murder. It's about the ripple effects of a sociopathic personality whose need to control didn't stop with the crime — and may have only gotten worse. This is where the emotional wreckage begins — and it's where the deeper damage lives. #JamesCraig #DeepfakeCoverup #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #PsychologicalAbuse #CoerciveControl #JamesCraigTrial #EmotionalManipulation #AngelaCraig Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Sex Slave Empire:They promised personal growth and empowerment. Instead, they delivered branding irons, sex slavery, and psychological torture that destroyed hundreds of lives. This is the horrifying true story of how Keith Raniere transformed a self-help organization into a criminal empire built on human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and mind control techniques that would make the CIA jealous. From Hollywood actresses to wealthy heiresses, discover how NXIVM's predators systematically identified, groomed, and enslaved their victims using scientifically-designed psychological manipulation. We'll expose the shocking recruitment methods that targeted vulnerable women, the sadistic initiation rituals that included literal branding with Raniere's initials, and the blackmail system that kept victims trapped in sexual slavery for years. Featuring leaked audio recordings of Raniere's sick fantasies, testimonies from survivors who escaped the nightmare, and expert analysis of the mind control techniques that turned independent women into obedient slaves. This episode reveals how modern slavery operates in plain sight, hidden behind legitimate businesses and charismatic leaders who weaponize trust and vulnerability. The most dangerous predators don't snatch victims off the street – they convince them to walk willingly into hell, believing they're being saved.

Renee Rodriguez helps protective mothers in a custody battle against a narcissistic co-parent to go into family court and get the custody arrangement that's best for their kids. Like Renee, these women have suffered psychological abuse at the hands of their former partners and are working to ensure their children are protected from further cruelty.Her company, Best Foot Forward, is an example of a number of things: changing careers mid-life, pulling herself up after trauma, doing it all as a single mom, and bringing a sense of adventure and a sense of humor to it all…even with a heavy subject in which she immerses herself every day! Renee empowers parents to help themselves and find a shining bright light at the end of a long, dark tunnel.Her turning point was during her custody battle for her son, after leaving a relationship rife with mental abuse. As a daughter of a Puerto Rican father whose family sought a better life on the mainland when he was 12 and a mother who only later pursued her GED, education and hard work was impressed upon her. She was the first in her family to graduate from college, the perfect Catholic student, who ended up having a child with a cruel, covert narcissist (diagnosed). She had been a performance coach for a couple decades, and switched her career to help other women succeed in dealing with their narcissistic nightmares.Now she is focused on creating reverberating change in the new field of “divorce coaching,” as a custody consultant, Violence Against Women (VAW) Advocate, and a certified instructional designer, melding it together to allow abused parents to find self-empowerment again.The Custody Blueprint® (TCB) exists to prepare protective parents for court through Strategy, Mindset and Evidence and using truth and virtue even in the face of lies and manipulation. Renee finds that moms are dependent on their lawyers to save them, and they have no real sense of how best to present their evidence in court. What really sets her blueprint apart is focusing on the mindset of dealing with a high-conflict co-parent--both in a custody battle AND as a mom trying to co-parent with a damaged individual. She addresses the shame, the guilt and the helplessness through her TCB program.Learn more:thecustodyblueprint.comhttps://www.facebook.com/thecustodyblueprinthttps://www.instagram.com/thecustodyblueprint/https://www.youtube.com/@TheCustodyBlueprint

In the remote outback of Victoria in 1993, Ralph Vollmer believed his wife, Joan, was possessed. Ralph enlisted members of his local religious community to perform an exorcism, hoping to rid Joan of the ten demons they believed controlled her. What followed was a horrific four-day ordeal that ended in Joan’s death. Margaret Thanos is the director of Furious Mattress, a play based on Joan Vollmer’s tragic story. It raises the question: what are the ethics of turning a real-life tragedy into entertainment? You can find tickets to see Furious Mattress here.

Gaslighting.  Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse that involves manipulating someone into questioning their sanity, memories, or perception of reality.  Sounds horrible right?  An example of this: a person or institution may say that an activist campaigning for change is irrational or “crazy,” or they may deny biases if someone confronts them about microaggressions. Nobody wants to be gaslit – it makes you feel confused, anxious, and isolated, and we know from research that feeling like that can have a real impact on your mental AND physical health.   But here we are, being gaslit by the leaders of our very own United States government. And when we say things like this, I keep coming back to George Orwell's quote from 1984 - or was it 2025? - which says: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” This is exactly what's happening now. So - how do we keep ourselves from being fooled? How do we make sure that our collective mental and physical health as a nation doesn't go down the toilet? We need to gather evidence to counteract the denial, the trivializing, the stereotyping that's happening. So, in this episode, that's what we're going to do. Gather evidence to make sure you have all the info you need to stand up and push back against people who say what's happening is normal. Educate yourselves and then each other because mainstream media is covering the chaos. We (the collective we, I mean)  have to cover the truth. To be clear: nothing that's happening now is normal. And we cannot be gaslit into thinking it is.   What to listen for: Why the government is not actually bloated, and the mass firings are illegal How tariffs are taxes, which will be increasing prices for YOU at the register - for eggs, houses, appliances, and more Safety and security are at risk - both domestically with air traffic concerns, all the way to the shift in our international world order - and with the reduction in healthcare and schooling, among other things sure to come  What you can do, both locally and through calling your representatives.
