She clarifies that abuse involves power and control, not just anger, and offers practical examples to help distinguish conflict from abuse. The episode provides questions for self-assessment, addresses challenges faced by people of faith, gives advice for parents about teen dating violence, and encourages listeners to trust their instincts.
