Episode 22: The Truth About Parental Abduction: Why Compliance isn't Consent

I’m excited about this episode that discusses compliant victimization. When a child is abducted by a family member, the trauma runs deep. The pain is psychological.  Today, my guest and friend is Carol Ryan, LPC, LCAC.  Carol is a licensed professional counselor and addiction counselor who has worked extensively with families affected by abduction and trauma. She sheds light on how compliance can be a survival strategy for children in these situations.  It’s crucial to recognize that this behavior stems from a place of fear and manipulation. Understanding these dynamics can foster compassion and healing.  If you or someone you know is navigating these waters, remember to approach the situation with empathy and patience. The journey of recovery is complex. Let’s support one another in this heartbreaking reality. To understand compliant victimization in the context of parental abduction, watch this episode where Carol Ryan, through an in-depth conversation, reveals the intricacies of compliant victimization. Compliant victimization refers to situations where a child appears to cooperate with their abductor out of fear or psychological manipulation, rather than genuine willingness.I hope you will watch/listen/SUBSCRIBE/like/comment.
