Betrayal Trauma 101: Emotional Abuse You Can’t See, But Feel with Anne Blythe

Welcome back, besties! This week on Bitch Is a Bad Word, we’re joined by Anne Blythe — founder of Betrayal Trauma Recovery and author of Trauma Mama Husband Drama.

Anne helps us unpack the often-invisible signs of emotional abuse, betrayal trauma, and covert control in intimate relationships. With compassion and clarity, she explains how abuse can be hidden behind charm, confusion, and manipulation — and how to finally name what’s really happening.

Her illustrated book may look playful, but it delivers powerful insights for adults trying to make sense of confusing, harmful relationships. If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself, wondered if your relationship is abusive, or struggled to explain the pain you're feeling, this episode will help you see the truth — and start healing.

🎙️ In this episode:

• What betrayal trauma really is — and how it affects survivors
• How to recognize covert emotional abuse and psychological manipulation
• Why naming the abuse is the first step to freedom
• How Anne uses simple language and imagery to explain complex trauma
• Support and resources through Betrayal Trauma Recovery
