Trigger Warning: Domestic violence, suicide, reproductive coercion sensitive topics discussed.

Diana dives deep and shares her experience in couples therapy while in her abusive marriage. Couples therapy is highly NOT recommended for those who are in domestic violence/abusive relationships.

Brooke discusses why she believes many therapists truly do not understand the covert tactics in abuse like coercive control - and therefore will potentially miss the violence cycle.

Brooke and Diana discuss how Diana's therapist missed the signs, and even aligned with her abuser - creating an even more dangerous environment at home for her. Diana explains how she felt while under this pressure and when she realized that she needed to end the relationship & couples therapy.

If you feel like you've experienced reproduction coercion, please understand that is a major sign of abuse not widely discussed as well.
