But He Never Hit Me: The Five Faces of Abuse You Weren't Taught to See
No matter how smart, capable, or self-aware you are…
it’s almost impossible to see abuse clearly when you’re inside of it.
This course gives you what you’ve always deserved but never got:
clarity, language, and validation, grounded in research and my lived experience.
 What You'll Learn
Inside this course, you’ll get a clear breakdown of the five major types of abuse most survivors experience but rarely name:
1. Emotional Abuse: How manipulation, criticism, and gaslighting reshape your identity.
2. Financial Abuse: How control of money becomes control of your options, choices, and future.
3. Technological Abuse: The modern tools abusers use to monitor, isolate, and intimidate you.
4. Sexual Abuse: What consent actually means, and how fear can replace true choice.
5. Physical Abuse: Why physical violence doesn’t always look like hitting.
