In this episode, we delve deeper into the shocking story of a survivor who experienced horrific abuse in her relationship.
We discuss the red flags of manipulation and abuse that appeared early on, such as moving in with a partner after just two weeks.
We explore the abuser's tactics, including love bombing, isolation, and drugging without consent. Gaslighting, emotional and physical violence, as well as sexual assault, were also prevalent in this survivor's experience.
Join us as we examine the cycle of abuse, its patterns, and its relevance to this episode.
We analyse the power dynamics employed by the abuser and offer insights into breaking free from such devastating relationships.
We are grateful for the support of our "Secrets in the Powder Room" listeners and encourage those affected by domestic abuse to seek help from professionals and helplines.
As always, I, Louise Bryant, a certified coach, intuitive eating counsellor, and trauma-informed domestic abuse specialist, am here to offer support to survivors who have left abusive relationships.
