LOVE Should Not Hurt: A Conversation with Carol Carbary

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE is more common than you think. Worse yet, physical injuries are often missed, even by medical professionals.        TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY or TBI doesn't just affect football players and boxers. Women who are hit in the head by abusers can develop TBI, too. Again, often an invisible injury.       STRANGULATION during sex is also being reported. An alarming new statistic: one in three young women describe being strangled during a recent sexual encounter.       In this podcast, Dr. Carolyn talks with Carol Carbary who tells us what we need to know: What is "domestic violence" (vs intimate partner violence) How to recognize injuries (traumatic brain injury and strangulation) What are the signs that someone is an abuser (red flags) What to say to someone who's in an abusive relationship (and what not to say) How Cleveland's Journey Center for Safety and Healing can help (and it's free)       About Journey Center       For nearly half a century, Journey Center for Safety and Healing has been a leader in Cuyahoga County, Ohio around issues of domestic violence.
