    Encore: When Words Hurt: Recovering from the Trauma of Control and Abuse
    Dec 21 2017
    'No one else will ever want you.' 'You’re stupid, you will never amount to anything.' 'You're too sensitive.' The phrases above all have one thing in common: they are signs of verbal abuse – and they are all meant to intimidate and control. This week’s show will help listeners recognize emotional abuse and learn how to 'break the cycle of abuse' and begin the process of healing. Guests and best-selling authors, Beverly Engel and Patricia Evans, have appeared on The Oprah Show, CNN and have been featured in many national magazines. They will help us understand the patterns of unhealthy relationships and tell us how to recover from the trauma of controlling relationships. Whether you are the victim of emotional abuse or you are the perpetrator, and the person who cannot stop trying to control others, this show is for you.

While some of these emotions will almost certainly be negative, there are many positive feelings and tender moments that come out of being there and providing care for a loved one. Join Dr. Merle on Caught Between Generations as she celebrates those who often put their own lives on hold to care for spouses, parents, siblings, children, and other loved ones. Hear the stories of three members of Dr. Merle’s local community as they share their experiences and insights on caregiving.
