This episode explores the difference between a therapist and a life coach. 

A life coach helps you look at the present and the future. We help you identify patterns in your past behavior so you can work towards a healthy future. We work on specific goals and actions to keep you motivated in your journey and unpack things when you get stuck. Most times, the work is tailored to you, and will help you work through limited beliefs and unhealthy patterns.

Emotional Abuse is not easily understood by those who haven't been through it. Some common signs include: you may feel insecure and have a low self-esteem. You might be depressed or anxious (or both). You may feel you need to justify everything you say.  You may withdraw from people even when you're around them. You might no longer go out and socialize.

In this episode, I discuss signs of verbal, psychological and emotional abuse, and how it feels to be in it. 

You can also share this episode with a friend who may not understand what you're going through.

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.

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.
