October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and in this episode of Be A Better You Podcast, Allison K. Dagney—survivor, author, and subconscious reprogramming expert—pulls back the curtain on 3 key ways emotional abuse presents itself.

Emotional abuse isn’t always screaming, yelling, or physical violence. More often, it shows up as gaslighting, coercive control, minimization, and subtle psychological manipulation that makes you question your worth, your memory, and even your sanity.

In this conversation, Allison shares:

  • Three key signs of emotional abuse most people overlook and get twisted
  • How abuse impacts your nervous system and keeps you stuck in self-doubt and rumination
  • Why survivors often feel “too sensitive” or “crazy”—and how that’s a symptom of abuse, not a character flaw
  • First steps you can take to recognize red flags and start reclaiming your power

Whether you’re trying to understand your own relationship, support a loved one, or simply learn more during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, this episode will help you see emotional abuse for what it really is—and remind you that you’re not broken, you’ve been abused.
