27. How Do I Survive an Abusive Relationship? With Dr. Heidi Kar

Domestic violence is pervasive and thrives in silence. But how do
I know if my relationship has crossed a line? How do I identify
abuse? And what exactly should I do if my partner becomes
violent? Today, clinical psychologist Dr. Heidi Kar digs into
what motivates violent behavior in the first place and how cycles
of violence can actually be prevented. Most importantly, she
provides insight on how to navigate a violent situation at home
and what options are available when it’s time to leave.
