One of the many things I’ve learned in the past few months of podcasting is to appreciate the community that surrounds us.  One community is that of content creators and podcast hosts.  I’ve been blessed to be asked into a few group where we can ask questions, bounce around ideas, and talk about the cases we’re working on.  Sometimes those conversations can happen in a more official capacity when we agree to record an episode to make our discussion on the record. My treat for you today is a roundtable with some of my favorite women in podcasting.  I think you’ll see why as you hear them speak.

4.10 Emotional Labor

*Refreshed file submitted as original one had overlapping audio at one point, but it may take a few hours before the new file appears on your app.  If you hear a problem about 10-11 minutes into the episode, delete the episode, refresh feed, and download newer file.Today we'll examine how Marsha Brantley dealt with cognitive inconsistencies when she wrote  in her blog, as well as how she wrote about Donnie and her marriage.  The words chosen by someone can reveal much about the mental state.  Sometimes it is looking at their specifically chosen words, sometimes it is looking at the themes revealed in their words, and sometimes it is looking at word choices they probably wouldn’t have consciously chosen, but show subconscious thoughts.Pouring through the blog, there is a lot of evidence of Marsha engaging in lowering her cognitive dissonance.

4.9 Cognitive Clarification Part 2 (Refreshed File)

We know that Marsha was a smart, tenacious, loyal woman who’d learned early in life to have faith that God would meet her needs and she could work through problems herself. It is her faith in particular that leads me to follow a new line of academic research today, Cognitive Dissonance, and discuss how it can impact someone in a domestic violence situation.  There's a much larger body of research about Cognitive Dissonance, so I expanded the episode to outline the theory and explain how it intersects with family violence. Next week, we'll dig into Marsha's blogs and take a look at how she dealt with the cognitive dissonance that she was facing in her life, as well as what we've learned about her from friends and family.If you don't want to hear about the theory and early research studies, you may forward to 18:33 to when we discuss how it intersects with domestic violence.Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/targetedpodcast/Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/TargetedPodcast/Instagram:  @targetedpodcastTwitter:  @targetedpodcastwebsite:  www.targetedpodcast.comemail:     targetedpodcast@gmail.comMerchandise: We have two stores now!https://targetedpodcast.threadless.com      https://www.teepublic.com/user/targetedpodcastResources in the US:  Need help?

4.8 Cognitive Dissonance Part 1

The research indicates that Marsha was actually at a higher risk for life-threatening violence, even though on the surface she didn’t seem to be.

4.7 Status and Emotional Abuse

My dear friends, I am writing and recording this brief episode after the distressing events on Wednesday, January 6, 2021 in which a group of people – rioters – mobbed the capital of the United States and attempted to stop the Constitutional duties of our legislatures.  I haven't been able to focus on much else this week, so there will not be an episode today.
