So if you find that you're in a position of rising to the defense of people that are being accused of abuse, I implore you to examine why it is that you instinctively believe the abuser and you don't believe the abused.
Why do some people stand up for abusers, even when the evidence is clear? This episode of SNAP: Survivors of Narcissistic & Abusive Personalities tackles this perplexing question. Mandy Friedman LPCC-S and Jen Rieker CPC dive into the unsettling world of abuse apologists. They break down three main reasons why individuals, groups, and communities might defend abusers: a lack of education, the normalization of abusive behavior, and a desire to maintain social power.
The hosts don't just stop at identifying the problem—they also offer tips on how to challenge these harmful beliefs. By encouraging listeners to question their own instincts and societal norms, Mandy and Jen aim to empower survivors and their allies. Whether you're directly affected by abuse or looking to support someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to understand more about this troubling phenomenon and learn how to stand up against abuse apologism.
