8-Domestic Violence SURVIVOR and LGBTQ+ ACTIVIST: Ben Bjarnesen
Imagine being a strong, athletic law enforcement officer, yet feeling trapped and powerless in an abusive relationship. That was the reality for Ben Bjarneson, who bravely shared his experience with domestic violence as a homosexual man. I discuss the three cycles of violence, which include the tension building, acute explosion, and honeymoon phases, and also explore the four stages expanded by psychcentralcom. Listen closely as I uncover the stark differences between a non-abuser's guilt and an abuser's guilt, and understand the impact on their victims.
Ben's courageous story serves as a powerful reminder that anyone can be exposed to domestic violence, regardless of their appearance or profession.
