When most people hear the word “abuse,” they think of bruises, broken bones, or raised voices. But abuse doesn’t always leave visible marks, and that’s exactly why so much of it goes unrecognized.
In this episode of Walk With Me!, David Torres explores the many forms of abuse that exist beyond physical violence, including emotional, psychological, verbal, financial, sexual, and coercive control. Through personal reflection, research-backed insight, and real-world examples, this episode names the kinds of harm that often hide in plain sight and the lasting impact they leave behind.
This conversation is about awareness without shame, accountability without cruelty, and recognizing that harm doesn’t need to be visible to be real. Whether you’re reflecting on your own experiences, supporting someone you love, or examining your own behavior, this episode invites you to see abuse more clearly so that healing can begin.
