from Hack · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Whether it's obsessively tracking your location or isolating you from your other mates, sometimes friends aren't just toxic, they're abusive. We're getting better at talking about coercive control in romantic relationships, but it happens among friends too. In fact, it seems like it's on the rise.So how do you know if you're in an abusive friendship? And once you realise you are, how do you leave? In today's deep dive, we get into your stories of friendships gone wrong, and we put all your questions to someone whose job it is to help people through it.Guest: Dr Hannah Korrel, neuropsychologist and author of How to Break Up With Friends Get the whole story from Hack:Follow us on InstagramSubscribe to the hack podcastListen on the triple j app or on your radio live every weeknight at 5:30pm
