people do sometimes respond poorly in trauma and they may respond in emotionally abusive ways,

0:08.7

but the more important thing is this a consistent pattern and is this something they're not seeking

0:14.0

help for.

0:36.1

Guys, so it's just me today and this is a sensitive episode and yeah, I just want to

0:43.8

give some trigger warnings for anybody who has been through abuse. We're going to talk about

0:48.4

abuse today, specifically emotional abuse. So we're not going to necessarily get into the nitty-gritty

0:53.8

of domestic violence, but we are going to talk about emotional abuse. And if you're listening

1:01.4

right now and you're like, I don't know much about that or that's not me, I've never had that in my

1:06.7

life, you need to listen to this too. Because a huge part of this process is, hey, if you've never

1:55.0

episode came out about three years ago. So what is it? 2023, probably? 2012, and you know what,

2:00.6

it came out in 2019. So four years ago. But I highly encourage y'all to go back and listen to my

2:06.8

story if it interests you. But I'm going to give a brief synopsis of the biggest emotionally and

2:15.5

physically abusive relationship I was in. And then I want to talk about emotional abuse because

2:20.7

it is a red flag. And we're in a series on red flag, red flags. And it is a red flag. It's a

2:28.0

major red flag. But emotional abuse isn't always outright very obvious, which is why you end up
