Taylor Frankie Paul DV & Listener Questions
EP: 131
It's a Hollywood Hot Take Takeover today with the recent news of local (to us) influencer Taylor Frankie Paul being arrested on Domestic Violence charges. Tiffany and Kierstyn dive head first into this topic, covering what this type of abuse looks like, why it’s not only women who are victims, men can be too, why it's hard to get out, trauma bonds, and addictions.
While it’s easy to get sucked into Instagram and Tik Tok drama we wanted to use this real life example to talk about domestic violence and more importantly make sure we offer resources for where you can find help if you or someone who know is in this type of situation.
You can find help and resources at FADV.org and https://www.thehotline.org
We also answer a few listener questions we've had come in recently like why is it so hard to leave an abusive relationship, how to deal with the pain of a cheating spouse, and how to work someone with an avoidant attachment style.
