Episode 187: The Hidden Costs of Emotional Abuse

The wounds of emotional abuse aren’t always visible. Survivors often carry scars that the outside world can’t see—feelings of isolation, anxiety, self-doubt, and the deep loss of identity. These are the hidden costs of emotional abuse, and they are just as damaging as physical violence.

In this final episode of the Domestic Violence Awareness Month series, Allison K. Dagney—survivor, author, and subconscious reprogramming expert—shines a light on the long-term impacts of abuse that often go unnoticed.

You’ll learn:

• How isolation keeps survivors trapped and silent
• Why the silent treatment and stonewalling leave lasting emotional wounds
• How projection and blame-shifting destroy self-trust
• The toll abuse takes on your mental health and nervous system
• Steps to begin reclaiming your sense of self and reconnecting with your worth

This conversation will help you understand the invisible aftermath of emotional abuse, validate what you’ve been through, and remind you: you are not broken—you were abused.
