      • Episode 50: Abuse, Part 3

        This is the third part in the series where Joseph and Paula talk about abuse. This is not a pleasant topic, but definitely a necessary one. According to the National Statistics on Domestic Violence, nearly 20 people each minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. For one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men. Those figures only take into account domestic violence. 

        We are covering 8 different types of abuse. We are examining the different types of abuse, their symptoms, and how to seek support if you find yourself experiencing any of them and how to support a person who has.  

        This part covers self-harm and sexual abuse. Part 2 addressed Psychological, Financial, and Spiritual Abuse. #Scientology Due to the nature of the content, we hope you will take care while listening.
