Red Flags In Relationships featuring Kristen Shrimplin and Annie D

This week on “Is Anybody Out There?”, we’re talking about something that can be difficult to recognize until you’re already in the middle of it: the early warning signs of controlling or abusive behavior. Understanding these signs can help you recognize unhealthy patterns, better understand a situation you may be experiencing, and know when it may be time to reach out for support. Joining us for this important conversation is Kristin Shrimplin, CEO of Women Helping Women, an organization dedicated to preventing gender-based violence and empowering all survivors. Knowledge can be an important first step. If something doesn’t feel right, trust yourself—and know that you don’t have to face it alone.
