*Trigger Warning* This episode contains stories of both physical and emotional abuse which some listeners may find distressing. In this episode, I fall into conversation with Chantel, Chenade, and Debra who have been in toxic relationships. To reiterate, we are not health professionals but these ladies decided to share their stories to offer a different perspective, in the hope to help and comfort someone who may be going through or knows someone going through a similar situation. Once they share their experiences, we talk on how they built themselves back up, why isn't it as simple as leaving, do they forgive their ex partner and more! If you are based in England and you have been affected by any of the issues raised in this episode, you can reach out to the National Domestic Abuse helpline. It’s a freephone 24-hour helpline but you can also contact them online or via live chat. You can also use this helpline if you are supporting a survivor. You can reach them on 0808 2000 247 or visit their website at nationaldahelpline.org.uk. Disclaimer: As we are all keeping safe during this pandemic, all recordings are taking place at home.
