I Survived

Send us a textToday's episode, the final one of series 3,  is all about a topic which doesn't get spoken about enough: coercive control.  We've specifically chosen to release it today, Valentine's Day, because we know that underneath the public face of all too many "happy" relationships there's a darker story at play.Victoria Cilliers' chilling memoir I survived is the story of what many of us will remember from the press as "the parachute jump attempted murder".  It is the story of a physio, a mum, a wife whose husband charmed everyone, tried to kill her and her children and did it in such a way that she, a professional, capable, intelligent woman, had no real awareness of what was happening to her.SOME USEFUL RESOURCES IF SUPPORTING PATIENTS IN A SIMILAR CONTEXThttps://www.freedomprogramme.co.uk/https://www.womensaid.org.uk/https://www.nationaldahelpline.org.uk/https://dasd.org.uk domestic abuse support specifically for doctors run by Dr Kathryn Haymanhttps://www.gov.uk/guidance/domestic-abuse-how-to-get-helphttps://www.mankind.org.uk/https://galop.org.uk/Emma specifically recommends the book Why does he do that?  by Lundy Bancroft  https://lundybancroft.com/
