October's topic: Domestic Violence
Wed, Oct 25, 7-9 pm
258 Tongren Road
"Many survivors look back on an abusive relationship, domestic and sexual abuse alike, and ask some variation of "Am I crazy? Was I really abused?"
This can come up because the abusive person may call their reality and their sanity into question. It may come up because their abuse doesn't look like what they thought abuse would look like, or wasn't as "severe" as someone else's journey."
This question comes to many for various reasons. If you've asked this, then our podcast discussion club in October is for you!
Podcast Episode Title: You're not crazy – you were abused (available on Apple Podcasts)
Discussion points:
"How can an experience of abuse lead someone to doubt their ability to understand their reality?"
"Does abuse always recognizable?"
"Why is the cycle of abuse so persistent"?
