Resources Mentioned:
- "Why Does He Do That? Inside the Lives of Angry and Controlling Men" by Lundy Bancroft is a book I highly recommend and I mention inside the episode. It really sheds light on empirical evidence about abusers motivation to abuse as well as shattering stereotypes of who abusers are by breaking down the 'types' of abusers.
- Jasmonae Joyriel is a licensed psychologist in private practice in Austin, Texas who rose up from her own wounds and experience with abuse to help others heal and thrive. She holds retreats for women on intimacy and healing in relationships. We met and bonded in the women's network Hey Mama. This is her website: https://igniteanew.com/
