Can I just tell you how eye-opening my conversation with this week’s guest, Avery Neal, was? Avery Neal is the author of, If He’s So Great, Why Do I Feel So Bad?: Recognizing and Overcoming Subtle Abuse. She is also a practicing psychotherapist, author, speaker and consultant. She is passionate about empowering women to discover their own inner strength, leading to higher self-esteem, confidence and overall life satisfaction.
During our conversation, we jammed on all the signs of an abusive relationship. And, let me tell you, several you may have never known, at least I know I didn’t. I hope this episode empowers you, if you are in an abusive situation currently. To be clear, being in an abusive relationship does not always mean physical abuse, it can be emotional or even mental abuse.
The signs we talk about can crop up while newly dating and exist well into marriage. Be aware, if not for you, for a friend or family member.
