Unmasking the Abuser - The Podcast

In this crucial episode, we delve further into the explosive insights unveiled in my latest eBook, "Brief Overview of Abusers' Strategies and Tactics."

We explore chapters four through six, uncovering not just the selection process —how Abusers pinpoint their romantic victims based on specific traits — but also the deceptions, strategies, and facades they employ to conceal their true intentions. We examine the sly methods Abusers use to dodge rejection in the initial stages of a relationship.

This eBook reveals the actions of abusers, their successful tactics, and the choreography of these maneuvers. It also explains the reasons behind them, which we can discuss more comprehensively in the podcasts.

The eBook is accessible on my website, www.drdinamcmillan.com. Owning a copy can be extremely beneficial as we explore its contents. No copy, no problem. You'll still gain vital information from this podcast that could safeguard you and your loved ones.

This is the podcast series that does so much more than entertain. It's designed to help you develop your manipulation superpower. Simply and effectively, you'll learn how to spot any attempts to unfairly persuade, influence or indoctrinate you. You'll be able to identify it accurately and early. In a world of propaganda and disinformation, you can know more and do more. Have a listen.

I put a lot of thought into creating my eBook, Brief Overview of Abusers' Strategies and Tactics. I'm excited to dive into its key insights in this episode and the next.

Research shows that the more often you engage with information across different formats, the better you retain it — especially when you pair it with a visual reference. This is exactly why I’m breaking down the eBook here on the Unmasking the Abuser podcast.

The eBook is under 60 pages, designed to be read in less than an hour. It focuses specifically on what abusers do. While it's concise, understanding the how and why behind these behaviors is equally important. That's what we'll explore together in these episodes.

You don't need to have a copy of the eBook to follow along — just tune in and absorb the insights! But if you want your own copy, you can get it directly from my website: www.drdinamcmillan.com.
