What does it take for an Emotional Abusive person to change? What do they have to do to change? How did Paul know he had to change?

Paul is a Relationship Coach and founder of The Overwhelmed Brain and the Love and Abuse podcasts. He created the MEAN workbook, a 200 point assessment to identify manipulative behavior.

We talk through these questions in depth and I give real examples from my story of going through, and healing from, an emotionally abusive relationship.

While the title may infer you are healing your relationship with your partner…that is actually not the intent of this course that I talk about in todays Podcast. This course is to help you heal your relationship with yourself if you're in a toxic relationship.

In this episode, I break down what I offer in the Relationship Recovery course.

• Understand the level of emotional abuse in the relationship.
• Identify your needs and where you have compromised.
• Identify if you are Trauma Bonded.
• Understand the Cycle of Abuse.
• Understanding Boundaries
• Look forward to the next steps in healing.

Abuse is not just physical. There are many types of abuse within domestic partnerships that have been normalized in our society. This episode breaks down emotional, verbal, financial, sexual and post separation abuse.

If you feel you may be in an abusive relationship, you can reach out to me at [email protected] or use the resources below to get support.

Emotional Abuse is Abuse. If you are in danger or need immediate help:

• Call a help line: Toll FreePhone: 800-799-7233 / 800-799-SAFE
• Shelters do accept women who are emotionally abused and have not been physically abused. Go here (http://stoprelationshipabuse.org/help/its-not-your-fault/) for a list of resources, or ask the help line for shelters near you.
• If you have been threatened with harm or death, or are being stalked (followed and harassed) by your partner or ex-partner, you can call the police for help.
• Plan for your safety if you are considering leaving your relationship. Sometimes leaving can increase your risk of harm. You can find resources to help you create a safety plan here (http://stoprelationshipabuse.org/help/develop-a-safety-plan/).

30 episodes and 1000+ downloads later and Season 1 is complete! I didn't intend to have a "season" but I am feeling a need (and want) to refocus the podcast, work on my episodes, and plan out what I will talk about next season.

This has been a really great learning process for me. I totally ripped off the bandaid and just started doing it. I leaned on the information I've learned, what I've gone through, and trusted that if I keep showing up, everything will align.

Season 2 will begin in October! Until then, I will be sharing some clips from the most popular episodes on my Instagram ❤️

You are likely an empathetic person. You have compassion when you hurt someone. You have feelings and don't want to hurt people. This is exactly what the Narcissist takes advantage of. This episode will help you learn how to see the whole picture so you can protect yourself.

Trauma Bonding is a very well-known phrase for good reason: it is a universal experience for almost everyone that experience Narcissistic and Emotional Abuse. 

On today's podcast, I discuss 3 ways to break a Trauma Bond.

Other people will claim to know what is best and give you advice based on their history and perspective, but most people, who have not been through emotional abuse, will not understand emotional abuse.

I hope this episode is a permission slip for you to let the opinions of others fade -- so you can focus on your own reality.
