Are you in a relationship that feels off, but you can’t explain why? This episode of That’s Not Okay breaks down the 3 major types of abuse — psychological, emotional, and physical — and exposes how they often start subtly but escalate over time. Learn how to recognize red flags like gaslighting, silent treatment, DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim-Offender), and manipulation tactics that keep you confused and stuck.

We’ll talk about whether abuse has to be intentional, how abusers often play the victim, and why abuse is more about values than mental health. If you’ve ever felt like your pain was minimized or your truth was twisted against you, this is your clarity.

You’ll walk away knowing:

• The difference between abuse and normal conflict

• Why impact matters more than intent

• How abusers justify harm — and how to stop internalizing blame

• What to do to safely start detaching and healing

• Why you are not too sensitive — and why your peace matters

Hit follow, share with a friend, and remember: you’re not crazy. You’re waking up.
