ALL IN: The Addicted Gambler's Podcast | The Original Gambling Addiction Podcast

Two of the most underreported crises in America share more in common than most people realize. In this eye-opening episode, Brian and Jeff sit down with Kristen Beall (LCSW-C, ICGC-I, CAC-AD) the Clinical Manager at the Maryland Center of Excellence on Problem Gambling, to explore a topic that is rarely discussed but desperately needs to be: the dangerous intersection of gambling addiction and domestic violence.

In this episode

• Who Kristen Beall is and why she dedicated her career to this intersection
• What domestic violence actually is — and why it extends far beyond physical abuse
• How gambling addiction and domestic violence intersect, including through economic abuse and financial control
• Why some people use gambling venues as a safe space to escape abusive home environments
• What resources exist for survivors navigating both gambling harm and domestic violence
• How clinicians and counselors can better identify and support people experiencing both issues simultaneously
