Olia fell in love with a charismatic individual who transitioned to a woman during their relationship. Knowing the transition for her partner would be very difficult, Olia bent over backward to be emotionally/physically available, but it was never enough. And before she knew it, Olia was under the complete control of her extremely calculated abuser. Her one person cult.

Plus Olia discusses, gaslighting, escape plans, gender transitioning, panic attacks, manipulation tactics, fat phobia, body issues, isolation, support systems, trauma bonding, abuse cycles, physical abuse, suicide threats, nightmares, and much more. *** TRIGGER WARNING - This episode describes graphic physical abuse (strangulation) and suicide threats. ***
