Welcome back for season 2! We’re getting straight to it with a very sticky subject, emotional manipulation. We’ll discuss what manipulation and grooming behaviours look like, why it can be hard to detect, and how it undermines safe, consenting intimacy.

Tune in for practical insights on recognizing red flags and empowering young people (and yourself!) to handle these challenging situations.

In this episode, we quoted Tunya Petridis. Tunya has worked as a trauma counsellor and clinical/practice supervisor for over 20 years specialising in working therapeutically with complex families and children who have experienced domestic violence, sexual abuse and neglect. Tunya currently provides practice/clinical supervision to counsellors and senior staff across Australia and consults on all aspects of trauma service provision.
