In this episode of I Choose the Bear, I sit down with Amy Liptak, a certified counselor in Bloomington, Indiana, to talk about the realities women face during and after abusive relationships. Amy brings years of experience walking alongside women as they untangle from the toll that abuse leaves behind.
Together, we discuss how women fall into these types of relationships, why leaving can feel so difficult, and Amy also shares resources she recommends for women navigating this journey. Her contact information and the resources mentioned in this conversation are included in the show notes for anyone seeking further support.
This is a conversation filled with honesty, wisdom, and hope—reminding you that healing is possible and you are not alone.
*Side note* EMDR was mentioned in the podcast to have been developed in the 90's but it was actually around 1987.
