0:00.0	Hi, this is Natalie Hoffman of Flying Free Now.com and you're listening to the
0:09.3	Flying Free Podcast, a support resource for women of faith, looking for hope and healing from hidden
0:16.4	emotional and spiritual abuse. Welcome to episode 293 of the Flying Free Podcast.
0:27.0	Today our focus is going to be on what is emotional abuse, what does it look like, all of those
0:31.9	things, we had a listener question come in about it. But before we get into the meat and potatoes of that, I want to do two other things. First of all, I want to share a review that came in to the
0:45.3	Flying Free Program this past week at the time of this recording. It's from
0:50.0	someone who has been in the program for a year and she wanted to share some of her big wins.
0:55.5	And then also there's another question that I'm going to answer about, it's kind of a follow-up question

1:53.4	process than others, but everyone can relate to everyone else and it's a very
1:57.5	encouraging place. So anyway we've got this space in there called Drop Your
2:00.9	Wins and Successes and this is what someone just recently wrote and I am
2:05.0	reading this with her permission. It will be a year tomorrow since I joined Flying Free.
2:10.1	I recently completed my year questionnaire and what joy to see my progress in numbers and I have just spent time reading my earliest posts.
2:21.0	If you have enough in the tank and feel you can face it, I really recommend reading your
