  The Hidden Injury: TBI and Domestic Violence

  Sep 7, 20261h 2mS2

  In this episode of  Through the Eyes of Survivors , Jen joins us to discuss the often-overlooked connection between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and domestic violence. We explore how repeated head trauma can impact memory, emotions, daily functioning, and long-term healing—and why greater awareness is so important for survivors, advocates, and professionals. This conversation sheds light on an injury survivors may be living with without even realizing it and reminds us why trauma-informed support must consider both the emotional and physical effects of abuse.

  Switching Cycles: From Trauma to Healing

  Aug 31, 20261h 9mS2

  What happens when the abuse is over, but the trauma is still shaping the way you think, cope, and move through the world? In this episode of  Through the Eyes of a Survivor , we sit down with  Holly Corish , a domestic violence survivor, trauma and addiction recovery advocate, and creator of the  “Switching Cycles: From Trauma to Healing”  recovery model. Holly joins us for an important conversation about the patterns trauma can create, the connection between trauma and addiction, and what it can look like to move from survival into healing. We also explore the concept of  “the predator seeking prey”  — how abusive individuals may identify and exploit vulnerabilities, test boundaries, create dependency, and use manipulation to gain control. Most importantly, we discuss this without placing responsibility on survivors. Vulnerability does not cause abuse; the responsibility always belongs to the person who chooses to exploit it. In this episode, we discuss: Recognizing the trauma cycle How abuse can continue affecting survivors after the relationship ends Trauma, addiction, and unhealthy coping mechanisms Manipulation, boundary testing, and predatory behavior Rebuilding self-trust after abuse Recognizing red flags without blaming yourself Moving from survival mode into a healthier healing cycle Practical steps survivors can take toward recovery and restoration Holly also shares insight from her work mentoring people in addiction recovery and providing peer support to domestic violence survivors. Healing is not always linear, and leaving an abusive relationship does not automatically erase what happened. But understanding the patterns trauma leaves behind can be a powerful part of learning how to break them. You survived the cycle. Now the conversation becomes: how do you begin building something different?   Through the Eyes of a Survivor  is a podcast from Break the Silence Against Domestic Violence.

  The Final Act of Control: When Leaving Turns Into Revenge

  Jul 27, 20261h 11mS2

  Trigger Warning  In this powerful episode of Through the Eyes of a Survivor, Jacqueline shares the devastating reality of what happened after she left her abusive partner. In an act of revenge meant to punish Jacqueline, her former partner drowned her daughter, attempted to kill her young son, and then attempted to take their own life. They survived and are now serving life in prison. Jacqueline courageously reflects on the warning signs she did not fully recognize until after the tragedy—and the red flags survivors, loved ones, and professionals cannot afford to ignore. This conversation examines how leaving can trigger a dangerous escalation, why children may become targets of an abusive partner’s retaliation, and how threats of unaliving  ☎ 1-855-BTS-1777 Non-Crisis Support 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM EST Registration https://www.run4herchallenge.com/ Facebook Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/259793866705057 Donate / Create a Fundraiser https://givebutter.com/2026-run4her-54viui Facebook Fundraiser Challenge https://www.facebook.com/fundraiser/with_presence/create_dialog/?challenge_id=989406547132675&default_beneficiary_id=613793674271754&default_beneficiary_type=charity&prefill_type=fundraiser_for_challenge Scholarship Fund https://gofund.me/55e527c24 Store https://www.run4herchallenge.com/shop Volunteer Application https://forms.gle/JB2aiGoJCWs7tEZS6 Partnership Application https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc_17m9jO_0QZOZlJfiHnAsHn7ksgHih_nBtO-N3ux5K6TX3Q/viewform?usp=header Podcast Guest Application https://forms.gle/zqZY265877ieLrjRA Ambassador Program https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdn3J0C6UkT-VmULkskafj5jODeng14alO4WNZoDW5JJx24wA/viewform?usp=header Survivor Sister Retreat https://forms.gle/nmTGKD2m6Kbtqv1r7 Opus Clips  https://www.opus.pro/?via=BTSADV25 Post when Amanda or Tara discuss podcasting, editing, or content creation.
