Abusers seek to isolate their victims and implement tactics to keep them silent and thinking that it’s “all in their head” or somehow their fault. However, when we talk about our experiences as victims of abuse, any false sense of shame is lifted and the experience is normalized; abuse becomes easily recognizable— and something we know how to stop. In this first of a two-part conversation, Ginny and Brandi share their personal stories of living through abuse, and how they survived. They share how community support and self-trust can help you overcome the effects of abuse of power and reclaim your voice.
In This Episode, Ginny and Brandi Discuss:

Why unacknowledged power is the root of abuse
What solutions can help us challenge authority and encourage support within communities
Why addressing power dynamics is key to sustaining positive relationships
Ways to pinpoint warning signs of abusive behavior and take appropriate action
How to embrace the process of healing after enduring abuse
Why community is so important in navigating and resolving abuse or trauma-based scenarios
