Podcasts about relationship abuse

Today, I'm sharing something deeply personal and serious—my stalker story. For over a year, Timothy C. (we can share his full name soon if need be) has been physically stalking me, and his digital harassment goes back even further. Law enforcement is now involved, but I wanted to update you all in case anything happens to me—so there's no question about who did it. This episode isn't just about my experience; it's also about the reality of stalking, the dangers of obsession, and the importance of taking threats seriously. Stay aware, stay safe, and let's talk about it all, shall we?—https://noblegoldinvestments.com

In Episode 167 of "You're Probably Right," MCM delves into the often-painful realization that a spouse or partner may have used you for their personal gain. We explore 15 comprehensive signs that indicate your partner may have exploited you financially, emotionally, or socially before moving on. These signs are not just conjecture—they're supported by empirical research that helps shine a light on manipulative behaviours. From financial control and emotional withdrawal to gaslighting and isolation, we discuss the ways in which exploitation can manifest in a relationship and what to watch out for. If you've ever felt drained, used, or discarded by someone who was supposed to care about you, this episode will provide some hard truths and practical insights. This isn't about losing hope; it's about gaining awareness. Understanding these behaviours can help you identify toxic patterns, take action, and hopefully avoid being taken advantage of in the future. Tune in for a deep dive into the signs that a partner may have used you and moved on, and learn how to regain control of your life.

We'd love your feedback! What resonated for you in this episode? What do you want more of?Why did I end up in an abusive relationship?There is no one reason or answer to this question with the exception of…your partner chose to abuse you.And I know that this answer does not satisfy anyone.  So we are going to look at one of the factors that make women more susceptible to being targeted by an abusive person and why they are more likely to stay in an abusive relationship. We are doing a deep dive into generational trauma.Generational trauma is when trauma is passed down through generations through a combination of psychological, behavioral, and biological mechanisms or pathways. I touch on each of these pathways and the impacts that they have on you and your family.Breaking the cycle of generational trauma and abuse in a family system is extremely difficult work and starting with a trained mental health professional is the first step to healing yourself so that you can break this cycle for your family. Some of the work you may do during this process are:Understanding where it comes from and how your family has contributed to your trauma is not an excuse, but an explanationUnderstanding your role in the family dynamic and what your family might do to keep you in the role and why? Plate and marble exampleHelp you identify where you need to set boundariesAllowing you a place to examine your values and set plans for how to live with those at the forefront Allowing you to imagine a life that looks differentGrieving the loss of … innocence or your childhoodOffering yourself forgivenessFinding inspirational stories of success of breaking the cycleCreating your safe inner circle of support with healthy peopleOne of the most positive impacts of doing all of this work is that you get to teach your children all of the things you The Journey Back to You: Rewriting Your Story is a Transformative Retreat for Survivors of Relationship Abuse.

We'd love your feedback! What resonated for you in this episode? What do you want more of?How can we add a layer of protection for young people so that they can see coercive control in relationships a mile away?What if we brought education about coercive control and teen dating violence into our schools?In this episode, I have a conversation with Lis Hoyte on her goal to bring this education on coercive control and healthy relationships into the school systems in the UK and then across the globe.  We talk about the realities of when coercive control starts to show up in the relationships of our teens and tweens and some of the consequences of this.  We talk about the challenges of getting schools on board with bringing this into the classroom. We also look at some benefits that might come from adding this curriculum to our schools, including introducing this information to the staff so that families dealing with coercive control and post-separation abuse can get better treatment and allowing children with coercively controlling parents the education to truly see and understand their situations.Where to find Lis:Lis's Website - https://www.lishoyte.com/Lis's Email Address - lisreallywhat@gmail.comLis's LinkedIn Profile - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lishoyte/The Journey Back to You: Rewriting Your Story is a Transformative Retreat for Survivors of Relationship Abuse.

We'd love your feedback! What resonated for you in this episode? What do you want more of?What is the difference between co-parenting and parallel parenting?If you have separated from your narcissistic ex-partner and you share children together, it is likely that you will still have to parent your children together in some capacity.  So, which one is right for you?Co-parenting, in theory, is what is in the best interest of your children. During co-parenting, you are making decisions together, discussing concerns, attending events together, and trying to keep the rules and structure in the home consistent. This only works if both parents can truly put the child's needs first and there is some trust in the other parent.It is more likely that you all are going to be parallel parenting. Parallel parenting is shared parenting where you limit contact and interact with the other parent as little as possible to avoid conflict while both parents maintain a relationship with the child.In this episode I speak about the challenges of parallel parenting with an abusive ex, why the courts still use the term co-parenting (and why you will use it too), and some of the things that you can do to help support your children during this and how to take care of yourself.The Journey Back to You: Rewriting Your Story is a Transformative Retreat for Survivors of Relationship Abuse.

Send us a Text Message.What do you do with the story of your abuse?Who do you tell?  What do you tell them?  You will find yourself in many different situations with many different people where you will need to share the same story of your narcissistic abuse over and over again and it is actually important to make a conscious decision on how and what you are sharing with the different people.Today we are going to talk about discernment, specifically about sharing your story.  But the strategies here can generalize to many other areas where you need to make conscious and intentional decisions.Early on in your healing…You likely look like a hot mess, you are learning the language, learning the systems, it is likely that you do not fully understand what you are in for with post separation abuse and the family court system…You probably show up in one of two ways,Word vomit/fire hydrant of info… context for days, looking like a crazy personShut down, not trusting, fearfulBoth make sense.Now that you have some psycho ed under your belt and hopefully have done some healing work with a therapist or in a group…Use these questions to assess who and what you will share about your abuse story?What is the role of the person you are talking to?What is the goal you hope to achieve?What evidence do you have that this person will listen/understand?Where are you in this moment?How safe will the information be?Once you have asked these questions, then you can make decisions and some discernment about how much and what to share.And if you have the calling to do advocacy work, write a book, or speak in public about your story, there are some other considerations you need to consider.Episode References:For more information and to register, click here.The Journey Back to You: Rewriting Your Story is a Transformative Retreat for Survivors of Relationship Abuse.

Could you be unknowingly trapped in a relationship where you are being consistently gaslit by your partner? In the first part of a mini series on gaslighting, I dissect the intricate and often invisible web of gaslighting in romantic relationships. By the end of the episode you will have a greater understanding of what gaslighting is and how simple accusations of overreacting or being too sensitive can spiral into a full-blown crisis of self-doubt, confusion and poor mental health. Discover the signs and insidious stages of gaslighting, from initial love bombing to a complete erosion of self-worth and self-confidence, drawing on the latest research in the area. I explore the isolation tactics that make victims increasingly dependent on a gaslighter's narrative. This episode sheds light on the crucial turning point when victims begin to see through the manipulation and embark on their recovery journey.  This episode isn't just an eye-opener; it's a lifeline for those seeking to reclaim their mental health.Highlights include:(02:35) Types of Gaslighting(05:45) Signs You Are Being Gaslit(10:19) The Stages of Gaslighting in Romantic Relationships(14:04) What To Do If Your Partner Is Gaslighting YouMore free downloads and resources to support your mental health and wellbeing: https://www.harleyclinical.co.uk/free-mental-health-downloadable-guidesJoin our email list for more mental health tips: https://mailchi.mp/harleyclinical/newsletter-sign-upFor private psychology services and therapy in person (London/Hertfordshire) or online, please visit Harley Clinical Psychology.*****************Subscribe to our YouTube channelFollow Harley Clinical on InstagramFollow Dr Liz White on InstagramFollow Dr Liz White on TikTok*****************DISCLAIMER - The Hello Therapy podcast and the information provided by Dr Liz White (DClinPsy, CPsychol, AFBPsS, CSci, HCPC reg.), is solely intended for informational and educational purposes and does not constitute personalised advice.

Becca was coming out of a marriage that had lost all of its energy. She then thought she had found a guy who provided all she was missing. For a while, he seemed to be "that guy", but when he showed his real self, he was more than she could handle. She never anticipated the trouble she was in for, and when things started to break loose, it was a turbulent storm. Hang in there throughout this two-part story with Becca. You will witness the warning signs she ignored on her way to a relationship that ended just weeks ago. A relationship she wishes she had never entered.

This is part two, the final episode of JaNae's story. . JaNae was studying to become a nurse. Tony was studying to be a doctor. To all who knew them, this looked like the perfect marriage of two smart professionals. Their parents were happy and proud of them. Nobody expected what was really happening in their “perfect world”.At home, when Tony couldn't get his way or felt like dispensing some abuse, JaNae was bore the brunt of it. But she felt married for life and tried to get them to peace and maybe counseling.Nothing seemed like it was working.As time wore on, Tony described the pressure he was feeling in school. It made his time sharing in household duties negligible. His way of dealing with the stress was to play video games all evening and into the morning hours. JaNae carried the entire load of housework, and that's while attending to her het own demanding studies.This story has several twists I never saw coming.

The Internet is abuzz with discussion about allegations by Sarah Brady, a University of Hawai'i law student, that her ex-boyfriend and celebrity Jonah Hill emotionally abused her and dressed up the abuse in therapy language. According to screenshots of text messages she posted publicly, he designated it "boundaries" that she should not post swimsuit pictures of herself on social media, model, surf with men, or interact with female friends of whom he didn't approve, among other things. Irina and Michelle analyze the difference between boundaries and coercive control, the ways in which boundary speak doesn't absolve the speaker of problematic values injected into requests (or demands), and the general current trends in distorting psychological language to serve one's purposes. The Dating Professors also delve into what happens when a partner's mental health or other life circumstances make it difficult for them to give what the other person might actually deserve under optimal conditions.

Have you even allowed yourself to think about setting goals for your life after surviving an abusive relationship?Instead of just surviving, I want to invite you to set some long-term goals so that you have some direction to start living again.In this episode, we explore some of the most common ideas and goals that survivors long for but do not believe are possible for their lives; finding a sense of peace and freedom, finding safety for their children, not being triggered all the time for example.  And after choosing a goal (or two or three), you will learn how to reverse engineer your healing or process so that you have some direction and know your next best step on your journey.This framework requires you to determine what parts of your situation are within your control and which parts are outside your control to know where to place your focus.  And while it may feel like you do not have control of anything, you might be surprised to learn that you likely have more control than you think.domesticviolence.orgCome join us, and others like you, for a mini retreat in Golden, Colorado on Thursday, October 5, 2023. The Journey Back to You is an opportunity to begin practicing the skills that will help you get back to you post-separation. Rediscover who you are again. Wake up each morning knowing you can find more joy and meaning each day. Knowing you are showing up and modeling authenticity and integrity for your children each day. More details to come soon.

Katie Hood knows how to follow her instincts and heart when making major life decisions. Today, Katie is CEO of the One Love Foundation, the nation's leading educator of young people on the topic of healthy and unhealthy relationships.  Katie shares the reasons why she joined One Love and her ambitious goals for reducing abusive relationships. We discuss how One Love was founded by Sharon Love to honor the memory of her daughter, Yeardley Love,  who was beaten to death by her ex-boyfriend three weeks before her graduation from the University of Virginia.  Sharon never imagined relationship abuse was something she needed to consider for her daughter,  “I didn't know then what I know now, that relationship abuse is a public health epidemic and that young women in Yeardley's age group are at three times greater risk than any other demographic.” In our conversation, Katie shares how she left the world of finance and consulting and  landed a job at the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, eventually advancing to become CEO of the organization. When Katie had doubts about her ability to lead as CEO of the Michael J. Fox Foundation, her path crossed with leadership guru Andy Grove, former CEO of Intel Corporation, who gave her the push she needed to take the role. Katie shares some of the lessons and skills she learned at the Michael J. Fox Foundation, and how her upbringing, faith and desire to help others has put her on the path she was meant to live. If you want to be inspired to follow a calling, you will never forget this conversation with Katie.

A relationship with a narcissist can feel like a never-ending cycle. At one moment, you always feel like you're in the wrong. Anger ignites inside of you. But in the next moment, you're showered with gifts and affection. You shut down your initial feelings, but then the same things happen again. If you find yourself in a relationship with a narcissist, it's never your fault.  Narcissism exists on a continuum of varying degrees, making it difficult to pinpoint the red flags. However, Dr. Jaime Zuckerman is here to dissect the warning signs and the most effective ways to break free from the abuse. Tune in to this episode on Narcissistic Relationship Abuse with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman.   Key points covered in this episode:     ✔️Spot the fairytale tactic. Dr. Jaime Zuckerman explains that even people of high stature aren't immune to falling into the trap. One of the methods of a narcissist is labeling you as a soulmate on day one. It's innately human to feel enamored, but be warned: It's unusual and toxic. ✔️ Set an exit strategy. The destruction of a complex, layered relationship puts you at risk of physical and psychological harm that narcissists are capable of.  Make sure you have somewhere safe to flee and reach out to as many people as you can.  ✔️Rebuild your self-esteem. Getting therapy is crucial. Victims of narcissistic abuse start to feel like a shell of their former selves. Being deprived of choice for so long, choosing a song to listen to or a dress to wear becomes extremely difficult. ✔️A relationship with a narcissist is a tightly spun web. Their behavioral patterns tend to be like spoiled food wrapped in a pretty package. Most of the time, victims don't even know they're abused. ✔️Narcissism is a cycle built on intermittent reinforcement. Every move a narcissist makes is calculated. Find the right moment to step back and evaluate the situation. You don't have to endure this for longer. You have the power to escape. ✔️You can't fix a narcissist. Period. End of story. Ready to start dating again? Surround yourself with supportive individuals a.k.a. “relationship checkers”.  Stop chasing potential. Be educated to avoid falling into the same trap. Dr. Jaime Zuckerman respects how difficult it can be for people to seek treatment. In her practice, she creates a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment to help you feel better, do better and ultimately, live better. Dr. Zuckerman specializes in the treatment of adults presenting with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, adjustment to chronic medical conditions as well as everyday life stressors. These difficulties can greatly impact your ability and willingness to enjoy life, connect with loved ones, and effectively function in your daily life.    As a trained Cognitive Behavior therapist, Dr. Zuckerman uses only interventions that have been proven effective by empirical research. She will assist you in the development of emotional coping skills, help you identify unproductive patterns of behavior that are keeping you "stuck" and replace them with more adaptive styles of interacting. Using various mindfulness-based techniques, she helps patients become more objective to their own worrisome thoughts and internal negative self-talk. You will incorporate your personal strengths into your therapy and work together to improve self-esteem and overall personal growth. _______________________________________ Connect with Wendy Sterling: Website: https://wendysterling.net/ Instagram: @divorcerehabwithwendy Twitter: @thedivorcerehab Facebook: @wendytsterling  Need an opportunity to share your pain points and receive judgment-free support?

Abuse in relationships can take many forms, and range from subtle control strategies to full blown physical assault. It can be highly damaging, not only physically but also emotionally and lead to long term effects. Even if we escape the relationship, it can lead to scars that can affect us for years, even into new relationships. Today we're excited to welcome the incredible Jackie Graybill to the show who is an expert and researcher in the area of abusive and coercive relationships at the University of Worcester in England. She has her own story of having lived through an abusive relationship, and successfully removing herself from that, and surviving to tell us the story today. We're going to be exploring: - How prevalent is abuse today - The personality types that are most susceptible to being abused - The biggest red flags that can be a sign that abuse is going on, including some that many will not be aware of Follow Jackie's incredible Podcast entitled “Abuse isn't what you think” available on all major platforms.

When a relationship turns abusive, it is one of the most devastating experiences. Shame, embarrassment, and self-blame often keep victims from seeking help. Abuse, also known as domestic violence, when in a household and/or intimate partner violence when within a couple, can come in varying forms; physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, and financial. Regardless of the type, domestic violence can have life or death consequences for the victim as well as for the children in the home. To help unpack this topic, I brought on licensed professional counselor, Natalia Garcia-Moreno. Natalia worked in a domestic violence shelter for women and children, helping them to restore peace after violence in the home.Key TakeawaysAbuse can happen to anyone. You are not alone and there is help for you.Learning to identify red flags in relationships can save you from getting caught up in the cycle of abuse. Getting out of an abusive situation is possible. Your past does not have to define your future.

So many people are unaware that we all have an invisible 'magnet' that attracts us to people. A force so strong that it will at times override your intuition, your common sense, and your voice of reason. For 18 years I kept getting back into the same types of relationships over and over again. Relationships that were disempowering, abusive and at times violent. It was only when I became aware that my own personal magnetism was creating this vicious cycle, that I was able to change it. In this podcast with Marissa F Cohen https://marissafayecohen.podbean.com/ and Rob https://bobculture.podbean.com/. I discuss what that magnet is and how I broke the cycle. My book The Relationship Magnet is available as an e-book here or as a print book on Amazon.

Targeting Relationship Abuse with Anita Bentata, from Australia Abuse occurs to 1 in 3 women, and so in every group, there are likely to be people with past or current experiences of abuse, and most probably unresolved trauma that is indirectly or directly shaping what they see and how they act. Most professionals do not receive adequate training about trauma and abuse. It is all surface level, yet trauma and abuse are deep and have many involuntary aspects. No one wants to see how they are tolerating toxic or abuse in their own personal or professional lives. People outside of abuse, walk on eggshells so as not to get on the wrong side of people, including family and professionals. The victim/survivor and person using abuse are a reflection of the shadow in our family, community and systems. We are missing family, community and professional emotional muscle to have the uncomfortable but necessary conversations.

We made an online assessment on our website www.thebulletproofclub.com to answer that crucial question: "Am I in an Abusive Relationship?" This way you can assess your situation and current circumstances. This is a useful tool to gain clarity so that you can take back control of your life. If your score is high, and you're having trouble accepting that you're in an abusive relationship, you're not alone. Abusers don't want you to know that their behaviors and actions are abusive, because that will empower you. Not only do they want to keep a firm hold on the relationship dynamics, but they also will use every tool at their disposal to make their victims believe that they had brought the abuse onto themselves. Denial is the enemy to growth and change. While abusive partners create an unstable environment, their actions and behaviors cause the victims to doubt themselves. This ultimately leads to denial, which is the enemy to growth and change. If you can't decide to change your current circumstances, you won't be able to break free and unlock your full potential. Emotional, financial, sexual, physical, verbal, and even identity abuse are real and present in many relationships. In this article, we look at 5 subtle warning signs present in abusive relationships. We also have a thorough checklist for you to download when leaving the toxic relationship so that you can also live a healthy and fulfilled life.

A simple opinion about abuse in relationships...

Lyndsey McDonald and I wrap up the 3 part series of relationship abuse. We cover many things, but one area that we focused on was helping kids deal with the wreckage of relationship abuse. Lyndsey continues to blow my mind with how much knowledge (not to mention experience) she has in the arena of abuse.  If we haven't covered all you need to know Lyndsey wants you to know that she is 1000% accessible. www.LyndseyMcDonald.com Lyndsey has a heart of pure GOLD and I'm so grateful our paths crossed.

She is now an expert (in my opinion) of relationship abuse. In this part 1 of a 3 part series, Lyndsey unveils what an abusive relationship looks like and all the information in between. Thanks Lyndsey, for your heart.

Many people believe if a victim of narcissistic abuse is asked to take responsibility for what happened to them – that they are being “blamed” for the abuse they suffered. Naturally, there a large consensus assert this takes away the accountability from where it should be positioned - which is on the abuser. There is also a lot of belief that the words “blame” and “responsibility” mean the same thing. But do they? Does adopting these beliefs and paths create the same results? Today’s radio show is a very controversial topic, and one that I feel very passionate about bringing out into an open Forum for discussion. It is one regarding victimisation versus Thriving, and how the Thriver Model is confused as victim blaming. To join in the debate please visit the blog here: http://blog.melanietoniaevans.com/does-the-thriver-model-place-the-blame-on-the-victim I love reading and answering all your comments!     

In this radio show you will learn how not being self-partnered was the number one reason why we were narcissistically abuse, as well as why it is impossible to heal from narcissistic abuse if we don’t come home to “meeting ourselves”. You will also discover exactly what self-partnering is, what the results of doing it achieve, and how it is a template to not only heal ourselves but heal our world. Truly this is one of the most important recovery articles I have ever written, and I hope that it truly inspires you to know there is a way of the hellish pain and into love, freedom and a healthy life.

This is the first of a two part series regarding the Quantum Model and how it works in regard to healing from narcissistic abuse. I have been talking a lot lately on YouTube about this topic and people have been asking for a deeper conversation about it. In this radio show you will learn about what “going Quantum” means, and how we can change our “consciousness” to have the power to change ourselves and our lives. By sharing this series I know this will grant you the opportunity to revolutionize your life.

In this show I will be having a discussion with one of our regular contributors NewWings. NewWings has been a wonderful source of information regarding narcissism, and I have no doubt she will deliver incredible insight in this show as well. By listening in you will learn about many of the drives of the narcissist and how you may be unwillingly caught up in their insatiable need to mine material resources and take over your life. This show is another vital resource for women who have been damaged by narcissits, are living with narcissistic abuse, and ladies who require the vital information to avoid becoming connected with a narcissist. Another 'must listen' to show, that all women should hear!
