But with children we generally tend to have a school routine. You know we have breakfast and you know we have break time, snack time. But for these people they will try and let people go. And there were a few little things like that as warning signs, and we were always talking about warning signs on these things, and it only got worse.
Imagine a world where something as simple as food becomes a tool of manipulation and control. In this eye-opening episode of 'The Trauma of Abuse' podcast, host Hannah Barnard dives into the unsettling ways abusers use food to dominate and diminish their victims. Forget about recipes or diet tips; this discussion is about the dark side of food and its role in abusive relationships.
Hannah breaks down two common types of food-related abuse: the deprivers, who starve their victims, and those who enforce extreme dietary rules to create a sense of inferiority. She sheds light on the psychological impact this has on victims, including anxiety, low self-esteem, and harmful eating habits. But it's not all doom and gloom. Hannah offers practical advice for those who have suffered from food control trauma.
She emphasizes the importance of seeking support from professionals who understand narcissistic abuse and encourages sharing experiences with trusted individuals. The episode is a beacon of hope, urging listeners to trust themselves and focus on balanced living. If you or someone you know has been affected by this form of abuse, this episode is a must-listen for valuable insights and recovery strategies.
