What Abuse Looks Like (Part 3 of 4)

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of physical and sexual abuse. Please listen only if you feel emotionally safe to do so. Take breaks or skip this one if you need to — your safety matters.

In this episode of I Choose the Bear Podcast, I explore three of the most visible and painful forms of abuse — physical, sexual, and financial.

These forms of control are never about anger or money — they’re about power.

This conversation is a space of truth, validation, and healing — for anyone who has ever felt unsafe in their own body or trapped by someone else’s control.
