Welcome to Beyond the Statistics, a survivor-led podcast hosted by Ingrid Dutton that explores the stories behind domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, coercive control, and trauma.
Statistics help us understand the scope of abuse—but understanding begins with stories.
Each week, survivors, advocates, therapists, legal professionals, researchers, and other experts join the conversation to educate, challenge misconceptions, and inspire hope. Together, we discuss healthy relationships, coercive control, narcissistic abuse, trauma recovery, healing, resilience, legal abuse, prevention, and the systems that impact survivors.
Whether you're a survivor, supporting someone you love, working in advocacy, healthcare, law enforcement, mental health, education, or simply seeking to better understand abuse, you'll find honest conversations grounded in compassion, education, and lived experience.
New episodes are released every Wednesday, with occasional bonus episodes throughout the year.
In this podcast, you'll hear conversations about:
- Domestic violence and intimate partner violence (IPV)
- Coercive control and emotional abuse
- Sexual assault and consent
- Human trafficking and exploitation
- Trauma, PTSD, and recovery
- Healthy relationships and boundaries
- Legal abuse and family court
- Survivor stories
- Prevention, advocacy, and education
- Healing, resilience, and hope
