Healing After Coercive Control: Getting Yourself Back After Divorce
You left. So why doesn't it feel over yet?
🎧 Listen to this episode if… • You've left, but the healing and closure you expected haven't arrived yet
• You can't tell which parts of your anxiety are trauma and which parts are just you
• Your body still reacts even though it's been months or years
• You're frightened of repeating the pattern with someone new
• You're still second-guessing your own judgment and decisions
• You want to know where to turn for support and what actually helps
Part six, the final episode of our coercive control series, is all about you. Clinical psychologist Krasi Kirova joins Mum and me on the trauma that stays in your body, the window of tolerance and how to widen it, the shark cage, why coercive control has been called a cult of one, and how long recovery really takes.
Guest: Krasi Kirova, Clinical Psychologist.
