Michelle Kelly's story is one of raw courage and resilience. In her early twenties, she fell for a charming man who gradually revealed his true, controlling nature. What started as emotional manipulation soon turned into physical violence. Eight years later, when she finally escaped, her troubles were far from over. Michelle found herself entangled in another abusive relationship, sex trafficking, and substance addiction. Yet today, she stands strong with a loving family and a successful writing career.
In this episode of 'Tough Love', host Federica Leonardis sits down with Michelle to unpack the complex process of leaving an abusive relationship. They discuss the different forms of safety that are crucial during and after the escape. Michelle shares why breaking free often involves trial and error, and how responsibilities play a pivotal role in recovery.
The conversation also touches on influential books like Judith Herman's 'Trauma and Recovery' and Bessel van der Kolk's 'The Body Keeps the Score', which have been instrumental in Michelle's healing journey. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking hope and practical advice on overcoming domestic violence.
