We are picking up right where we left off last week with Leslie Vernick.  If you haven’t listened to that episode yet, you can find it here.  What if forgiveness didn’t mean stepping back into harm, and submission didn’t mean surrendering your safety? We tackle the most misunderstood truths about abusive dynamics, offering a clear path toward safety, integrity, and hope. On today’s episode, we walk through four essential questions to identify patterns of abuse, how escalation works when there are no consequences, and why boundaries are acts of love, not defiance.Watch this Episode on YouTubeClick here for show notes and to connect with Leslie Vernick.Support the showThanks for listening!
