October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Over 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have been abused by an intimate partner. That’s more common than breast cancer, yet we don’t see the same awareness. It’s time to change that. In our most-listened to Emotion Well episode, we speak with a clinical psychologist about the hidden reality of emotional abuse. We explore why it’s so hard to recognize, the cycle of control, and the critical steps to planning for safety. 🎧 Listen now: https://lnkd.in/gEgtp8Fh
