Nor for entertainment, rather for survival

Dr. Laura Richards breaks down situations so listeners begin to understand how manipulation and misogyny are occurring right under our noses, and how we often barely notice. I was a woman in a bad relationship. I was a people pleaser, and he made me miserable thinking I wasn’t pleasing him. I was oblivious to the fact that he wasn’t exactly meeting my needs. I learned to spot his patterns on my own and finally made the difficult decision to leave after nearly 20 years together. I found Crime Analyst later and it has helped me overcome guilt I’ve felt over my decision to divorce. I recognize his behaviors in so many cases she covers I hope other women can find this podcast and that it helps them figure out toxic patterns sooner than later. Remember, abuse is not just violence. Thank you, Dr. Richards!
