Dr. Lauren Welter, PhD joins us for a candid conversation on emotional abuse. In this episode we uncover common characteristics of emotional abuse and discuss why it can be difficult for people in abusive relationships to see themselves caught in the cycle of abuse. Dr. Welter explains the challenges individuals face when trying to leave an abusive relationship and the importance of having a safety plan when preparing to leave.
