Hidden Scars: The Emotional Journey After Abuse

In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜, David and Sherry open an honest, compassionate conversation about the emotional effects of abuse; the shame, guilt, fear, and anxiety that can linger long after the pain ends. David shares his personal story as both a survivor and a coach who has supported countless clients, most of them women, as they navigate the emotional residue of trauma. Together, he and Sherry discuss how abuse impacts not only individuals but also families, relationships, and generations, creating emotional patterns that can last a lifetime if not understood and addressed. They remind listeners that it’s not your fault, healing is possible, and you are not alone. Trigger warning: This episode discusses abuse and emotional trauma.
