A note before our series begins. While every person, relationship and experience of abuse is unique, there are also pervasive and sinister similarities. There are warning signs that a relationship could become abusive. There are patterns of power and control that perpetrators repeat.

In this season of There’s No Place Like Home, we’re going to explore those similarities. In doing so, we’ll rely on some evidence-backed generalisations. We know this podcast won’t reflect the experience of every person listening, but that doesn’t make the information any less essential to share.
