In Part 2 of Inside the Cleveland Kidnapping, Dr. Phil walks you through how Ariel Castro tortured Michelle Knight with chains, threats, and psychological warfare. Michelle describes how she read his moods, played along, and used her instincts to stay alive. Castro didn’t just beat and rape her—he isolated her, starved her, and manipulated her with lies about her son and her fate. Dr. Phil breaks down how Castro played God in his house, demanded total obedience, and escalated his abuse when he felt his power slipping. This episode shows how survivors like Michelle fight not just with strength—but with strategy, clarity, and an unstoppable will to live. If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, you can reach out to the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673). This hotline is operated by RAINN and connects you with local sexual assault service providers who can offer free, confidential support and resources.
