| 07 Feb 2022 | Trauma Bonding and How We Can Heal | 00:40:11 | |
Traumatic bonding is a strong emotional attachment between an abused person and his or her abuser, formed as a result of the cycle of domestic violence. A trauma bond convinces you that you are in love with your abuser. You will feel like he is your soulmate. That the mistreatment is not that bad. That he really loves you despite this mistreatment. That he means his apologies. That when he says he is trying to change, he is, and you are actually not noticing any of the changes he’s made.

| 07 Mar 2022 | I Hate the Rhetoric on Self Love | 00:04:53 | |
Most people don't know how to build up their own self worth. I've had my own battles with self love, self worth, self esteem and self care. I certainly didn't resented all of the words associated with it. When I was healing, all I knew is that I wanted to be able to trust myself. When I work with clients on this, I always come from a place small steps. I don't use the words "self love." I don't tell them they need to love themselves to move forward. I tell them I want to help them feel proud of themselves. I created a series of canned responses that can be helpful with diffusing conflict.

| 15 Mar 2022 | An Abusers Apology and How to Know if they are Truly Sorry | 00:18:22 | |
An apology from an abuser never feels like a true apology - and you shouldn’t accept it. A real apology is remorse followed by silence, space and changed behavior. A real apology is less speaking and more personal work on yourself. A real apology is looking within and addressing what caused you to hurt someone you love. Have you ever noticed how some apologies make you feel worse after getting them? You thought you were getting the apology you so longed to have; but you got an excuse and a justification? Often in abusive relationships, we see abusive partners apologizing with little to no willingness to make changes towards nurturing a healthy relationship, or behaving differently in the future. On todays episode, we unpack an abusers apology and how to know if someone is actually sorry. I created a series of canned responses that can be helpful with diffusing conflict.

| 23 Mar 2022 | Understanding the Cycle of Abuse | 00:19:58 | |
The Cycle of Abuse in a Domestic Partnership is important to understand if you are in an abusive relationship. The simplest way I’ve seen the cycle described is this: the person gets hurt, the abuser gets away with it, and they both claim the victim is the crazy one. On this episode, I will talk through the 4 stages and how you can understand them. I created a series of canned responses that can be helpful with diffusing conflict.

| 04 Jan 2023 | What I Learned from Being in a Relationship with a Narcissist | 00:10:57 | |
Most people don’t even realize they are getting into a relationship with a Narcissist. They are skillfully manipulative - which allows them to come off as charming and loving. But Narcissistic relationships are always emotionally abusive - which includes put-downs, accusations, criticism, gaslighting and threats. The end goal is always to keep their Narcissistic supply of constant attention and admiration. Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.com

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.

| 11 Jan 2023 | Parallel Parenting Explained | 00:20:35 | |
I define parallel parenting as a method of parenting that allows each parent to use a separate approach to when they have the kids. Their parenting does not intersect, as each parent is independent (versus more of a team approach). It’s mostly used when co-parents want little to no contact with each other. Parents rarely attend the same functions, appointments, or child-related events. If they do, they do not sit together and are not expected to communicate. This is contrary to co-parenting which involves more of a team approach. Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.com
| |||
| 02 Nov 2022 | When you don't know you're being Gaslit, you defend yourself endlessly | 00:16:07 | |
Gaslighting affects your memory, your perception, your sanity, and your reality. To gaslight someone is to plant seeds of doubt in their mind, and make them question their own sense of reality, their perception, and their feelings. Since gaslighters lack self-awareness and empathy, they may not even realize that they're being manipulative. Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.com

| 04 Nov 2022 | Narcissistic Projection Explained | 00:07:24 | |
A Narcissist projects their feeling onto you. Projection is sometimes an unconscious way of dealing with the presence of something inside of yourself, yet it gets externalized because it is so uncomfortable to be within yourself. A healthy person will notice they do this (or accept it when they are called out). A Narcissist continues to use it as a tool and project it onto you. This episode unpacks this concept and offers tools to help you see it for what it is. Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.com

| 27 Jan 2023 | 10 Signs You're in a Trauma Bond | 00:17:28 | |
If you are in an abusive relationship and are struggling to get out, you are likely trauma bonded. Trauma bonds are part of abusive and Narcissistic relationships. When you're in one it feels impossible to break - and it feels like love. When we are in it, we don't really know that we want to break a trauma bond. We just know that we want to stop feeling the way we're feeling. How do you know it is a trauma bond? Do you feel you need to leave...but you just can't do it? Do you have a deep-rooted feeling of "I know I need to leave. I know he is mean. But if he would just stop yelling and listen to me. If I could just get him to understand that it's abusive, then things could be better...." If you are accepting poor treatment but can't leave, you are likely in a trauma bond.
