In Episode 28, we continue the conversation with Peggy Hurd, a licensed marriage and family therapist, who has been instrumental in my healing journey through separation and divorce. Peggy, with over 51 years of marriage, and the wisdom of being a mom of two and a grandmother of two, returns to further unpack the complex topic of abuse in marriage.

In this episode, we focus on two important and often misunderstood aspects of marital abuse:

- Spiritual Abuse: The misuse of religion, faith, or spiritual authority to manipulate or control a spouse.

- Sexual Abuse within Marriage: Addressing non-consensual sexual experiences and violations within the context of marriage.

Peggy shares her professional insights and offers practical advice on recognizing these behaviors and beginning the process of healing. Through our conversation, we hope to shine a light on the nuanced forms of abuse and empower listeners to rise and reclaim their lives after divorce.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1. What constitutes spiritual abuse in a marriage and how it manifests.
2. Understanding sexual abuse within marriage and the importance of recognizing boundaries, even in intimate relationships.
3. Signs to look out for if you suspect you or someone you know is experiencing these forms of abuse.
4. Tips on how to start the healing process and reclaim your personal power.

With over 51 years of marriage experience, Peggy brings a wealth of knowledge as both a therapist and a wife, mom of two, and grandma of two.

This episode kicks off a powerful series where we break down the different forms of abuse—starting today with emotional and financial abuse. We also dive into the concept of gaslighting, a manipulative tactic often linked to emotional abuse.
