  • S3, E11: How Do I Know I Am Being Abused?
    How do I know my partner is just hurtful, or an abuser?  At what point does their behavior cross the line into domestic violence? It can be hard to tell, especially with the subtler actions.
    Today, we discuss warning signs and red flags that indicate abuse may start to occur, or is possibly already happening.

  • S3, E10: How Do You Feel When You Leave an Abusive Relationship?

    This is a question we do not address enough.  I have never been asked this.  The survivors I have interacted with have never been asked.

    I think people assume that once a survivor leaves, they feel relieved, happy, joyous…

    Partly, yes.  But in reality, its so much more complicated.

  • S3, E7: What is Trauma?
    Often, this podcast discusses how survivors of domestic violence, their children, and sometimes the people who act as their support and safety network,  are survivors of traumatic experiences.
    The topic of trauma appears often because understanding trauma, how common it is, how it works, and how it affects the way a survivor interacts with the world is crucial in being an ally.
    Not only is trauma more common than historically viewed, it has long lasting consequences for those who experience it.  Trauma can permanently alter the way a person acts, thinks, feels, and responds, even in ways that we don't expect.
    However, we as a society still have yet to fully understand, utilize, or even acknowledge the cause and effect of trauma on survivors.

  • S3, E6: What Is A Trigger?

    The internet loves to label someone as TRIGGERED The colloquial internet definition has become shorthand for: I am upset But when discussing survivors of domestic violence, being triggered means something extremely different and a lot more nuanced And knowing what a trigger is, and how to respond can be the difference between supporting a survivor, or echoing their abuser.

  • S3, E2: Where Can I Go?

    As fond as we are of asking ¨Why doesn't she just leave?¨, it's hard to find shelter if you’re a domestic violence survivor.

    In the US, the first battered women's shelters did not exist before 1970.  Fast forward to 2020, and the demand still outweighs the available resources.

    The perception that finding emergency shelter is "easy" is dangerously misleading.

    Today we discuss the reality.
