Listen "Abusers – How to recognize an abuser and what to do about it."

Episode Synopsis




Abusers feel powerless, so they search for a victim they can exert power over.
The abuse could be emotional (manipulation and verbal), financial (economic), physical, sexual or all four.
They usually isolate their victim from family and friends.
An abuser will act the part of ‘Mister nice guy’ until he or she is confident their victim cannot leave them.
The abuser could be a parent, a partner or even an employer.
Placating an abuser to reduce tension rarely works; the abuse almost always continues.
