This week's episode we'll be talking about Domestic Abuse and the Wheel of Power and Control. We'll discuss types of abuse that victims experience, including: Isolation & Possessiveness; Minimizing, Denial, & Blame; and the use of Privilege, Status, & Domination. We'll talk about why victims don't just pick up and leave their abusers, and how to start the conversation about domestic abuse whether you are the victim or a loved one of a victim.

This will be a multi-part series, in which we'll also talk about the other types of abuse in the Power and Control Cycle, Victim Support, and Escape Plans.

As a special guest, my mother will be joining us to share her own experiences with Domestic Abuse.

Please join us and share in the conversation.
