The series at a glance

season one

the life cycle of abuse

Ten people. Ten stories. Each is a snapshot that takes listeners through the next stage or form of abuse: from the early days of love-bombing and isolation right through to the rebuild after escape.

season two

non-physical abuse: could you spot the signs?

Honing in on the red flags of non-physical abuse that often go unnoticed. The intimate and invisible warning signs and the excuses that follow. Because you can't spot the signs when you don't know what to look for.

season three

AFTER SHE LEAVES

There's one question victim-survivors are asked again and again: why didn't you just leave? The answer is: because sometimes that's even more dangerous. This season moves beyond what happens during a relationship to the tactics abusers deploy post-separation.

“He wants total control of this person, he wants her as not a separate human being in his life, but as a piece of property.”
