Sean Johnson, located in London, England, is the host of the outstanding "ControltheFreak" podcast. What sets him apart from anyone we have ever included on our podcast is: he was an abuser.

After years of dominant behavior, which he is not proud about, Sean reinvented himself. His new iteration is a recovered control freak who talks to listeners about the triggers and motivations of dominant and controlling behavior. He knows this subject only too well considering his background. He knows how to spot abuse!

Sean wanted to create an episode for his podcast that focuses on one particular "worst-case scenario" story. One where there was dominant behavior present that ended with the victim suffering a life-ending event.

Even though he is located in Great Britain, he chose Kristin Mitchell's story. He felt it had all of the details of controlling behavior that he wanted to cover.

Thanks to Sean for handling this assignment with a delicate touch. His thorough research into the story and his keen insights make this episode well-worth your time.

We asked if we could air Sean's finished podcast episode. It is now available to hear and for you to learn from.
