Listening for threats and looking for damage to property S2 E6

There are all sorts of ways to create fear. In this episode we’ll hear about some of the common ways people are controlled by fear in abusive relationships; those that have physical signs, such as damaging someone’s property, and those that don’t like threats. You’ll hear women, lawyers and counsellors describe some of those thing that we perhaps already think of when we think of family violence, but it’s the descriptions of those things we don’t think about enough that really help us understand how complex and powerful fear can be. Plus, we start to tune-in our eyes and ears so we don’t walk past a broken window or dismiss a threat without defusing, checking in, calling out or reporting the behaviour.SHOW NOTES and LINKS:NOTE: This podcast discusses family violence which may be triggering for some listeners.
