30: Setting The Record Straight: 5 Common Misconceptions About Abuse

January 10, 2023 • Sheryl Staite-Bryson • Season 1 • Episode 30

We've all grown up with certain ideas about abuse and what we think it looks like.

If I ask you to picture what an abuser looks like, what comes to mind? How do they behave? What do they do for work?

And although some abusers may fit the description you thought of, most will not. So how do we know what is abuse and what isn't?

In this 30th episode of the Healthy Mom After Divorce Podcast, I go over 5 common misconceptions about abuse, explain the classic DARVO technique that abusers use to gaslight their victims and discuss all the things that do not cause abuse .
