Show notes

In this powerful continuation of our conversation with Shawn and Amanda from the Touchy Subjects podcast, we dive deeper into the often-overlooked tactics of emotional and social abuse. While physical violence is more visible, the wounds caused by coercion, control, isolation, and emotional manipulation can be just as damaging—and harder to identify. We break down the Power & Control Wheel, exploring the eight key tactics used by abusers to dominate their partners, including economic control, intimidation, emotional abuse, and using children or privilege as leverage. Shawn and Amanda offer expert insight, lived experiences, and practical tools to help listeners identify red flags in their own or loved ones' relationships. This episode also features a compelling role-play to model what supportive conversations can sound like when someone discloses abuse, reminding us all how vital empathy, safety, and non-judgment are in these moments. What You’ll Learn: The difference between emotional and physical abuse—and why both matter The 8 spokes of the Power & Control Wheel and what they look like in real life How abusers use privilege, isolation, and economic dependency to maintain control Why consent must be enthusiastic—and how coercion shows up in relationships The importance of recognizing patterns early and having a support system What to say (and not say) when someone opens up about abuse Vote for Eve Hall as Best Educator and Best Educator Website at the ASN Awards: If you’re enjoying the show and feel it’s been helpful, I’d be honored if you could take a moment to vote for me as Best Educator and Best Educator Website in this year’s ASN Awards.
