Verbal Abuse Recovery
What happens when a place that should remain neutral becomes part of a high-conflict family dynamic? In this episode, I look back at my daughter’s school experience, blurred boundaries, triangulation, school accountability, and what I understand differently now about protecting children from adult conflict.
Is This Abusive? Explores emotional abuse, verbal abuse, gaslighting, coercive control, relationship warning signs, and recovery. Through personal experience, reflection, and practical insight, the podcast helps listeners recognize unhealthy patterns, trust their own perceptions, and better understand what may be happening in difficult relationships.
This episode explores how abuse was understood, or left unnamed, across three generations of women. From a grandmother with few options, to a generation taught that abuse meant bruises, to the growing language we now have for verbal abuse, coercive control, and emotional harm, this conversation looks at what women were taught to endure and why naming these patterns matters.
This episode explores the subtle warning signs that can make an unhealthy or abusive relationship difficult to recognize. From walking on eggshells and questioning your own perspective to control, isolation, blame, and intimidation, the focus is on patterns that may seem small individually but become more concerning when they happen repeatedly over time.
