This is a collaboration with Aurora Eggert the host of "The Borealis Experience" and Sean Dustin the host of the "Nowhere To Go But Up" podcast.

A few weeks ago Aurora and myself were recording an episode for her show with me as the guest. After finishing recording we decided that we since we have both been abusive people in our past relationships that this would be the perfect opportunity to team up and start a series about abusive behavior. It isn't often that you find a female that is willing to speak on being abusive in their past relationships. It is also not often that you find a male that is willing to openly talk about their role they played in being abusive.
*
This type of behavior is usually buried in shame, guilt, and embarrassment so it rarely gets talked about outside the walls of a therapists office. The type of abuse that is displayed by women in relationships isn't usually physical in nature but more mentally and emotionally charged. A lot of the time when a man is abusive it plays out in mental, emotional, and physical forms of abuse.
*
In this episode Aurora and myself start off this series talking about our own behaviors that we displayed in the past and what conclusions that we came up with as to why we acted the way that we did. We also touch on some of the things we have done to work on that behavior and how we mitigate feelings of anger and control that come up now.
*
We hope that this conversation and the ones to come will help people out there that are being abusive, have been abusive, or have been affected by an abusive person to understand why this behavior. We hope to bring on licensed professionals to talk about the different types of abuse and why they happen as well as current/former abusive people and people that have been affected by abusive behavior.
