A timely gift of a podcast.
I wish I were as well spoken as Leslie Vernick to give this podcast the glowing review it deserves. The episode I’m currently reflecting on is Jennifer’s story: Surviving Coercive Control. The way she gives language to the destructive patterns in her marriage is so well-thought and heartbreaking to witness. I find language to be very empowering and she uses so many good examples here that I think many women would be able to identify with if they’ve found themselves in an oppressive marriage. The correlation I found most interesting is the concept of clergy betraying wives by enabling abusive husbands. In medicine, when a nurse/doctor steps outside of their area of expertise and gives advice, there is a phrase for that. It is “practicing outside of their scope of practice.” This can be an error punishable by incarceration depending on how egregious the event. How many women and children have suffered by seeking help and received malpractice of care from their clergy when they have attempted to practice care outside of their scope?

My parents were abusive to eachother and to my...Read full review »
