Can control and power dynamics silently creep into relationships, affecting even those you least expect? Join us for a compelling conversation with Sandhya Nagabhushan, a licensed professional counselor and owner of Enlightenment Therapy Services, as we shine a light on Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Sandhya shares her personal journey and the profound insights she has gained from her work at a family crisis resource center. Her experiences illuminate the often-hidden realities of dating and partner violence, and we explore how such violence transcends gender and sexual orientation, affecting individuals across all identities, including within LGBTQ communities. Sandhya's compassionate perspective offers hope and the possibility of healing and transformation for survivors.Together, we navigate the harsh landscape of toxic relationships, emphasizing the resilience it takes to survive the cycle of abuse. Our conversation dives into the phases of control and isolation, such as the "honeymoon" and "walking on eggshells" stages, and the often-overlooked role of stalking, particularly cyberstalking, in modern relationships. We discuss how social media can intensify these threats and why raising awareness and finding support are essential steps toward empowerment. With Sandhya's expertise, this episode serves as a powerful reminder that each survivor's experience is unique, yet there is potential for healing and empowerment at every turn.Connect with Sandhya today! https://enlightenmenttherapy.services/#about(Licensed in Texas and Missouri, and offers Telehealth in DC, Maryland, Virginia, and Texas)We are happy and honored to be part of your life changing health and wellness journey: https://telewellnesshub.com/This episode is proudly sponsored by: https://legalmed180.com/
