Have you ever asked yourself, “If he’s so great, why do I feel so bad?”


Psychological abuse is the foundation of every kind of abuse — yet it often goes undetected because it hides behind jokes, criticism, and even “love.” In this powerful episode of The Listening Bea, I sit down with Dr. Avery Neal, licensed psychotherapist and author of If He’s So Great, Why Do I Feel So Bad?


Together, we explore:


  • ⚠️ The shocking statistic: over 50% of people experience psychological abuse.

  • 🚩 Subtle red flags disguised as humor, criticism, or “constructive feedback.”

  • 🧠 Why victims often blame themselves — and how to break free from the cycle.

  • 💡 Practical tools to strengthen intuition, rebuild self-trust, and recognize manipulation.

  • 📱 How social media and AI can either help or harm your healing journey.


If you’ve ever felt confused, dismissed, or doubted yourself in a relationship, this episode will open your eyes — and help you reclaim your confidence.


Follow Listening Bea for more raw, science-backed conversations about self-mastery, emotional freedom, and building a life of clarity and peace.
