Verbal Abuse - The Abuse You Can't See

Verbal abuse doesn’t leave bruises — but it leaves deep emotional scars. In this episode of Bitch Is a Bad Word, we unpack the truth about verbal abuse in relationships: how it works, why it’s so hard to identify, and the serious impact it has on your confidence, self-worth, and mental health.

Verbal abuse is often minimized as “just words,” but make no mistake — it’s a form of emotional and psychological abuse that can be just as harmful as physical violence. If you've ever second-guessed the way you’re being spoken to, or wondered, “Is this really abuse?” — this episode is for you.

🎙️ We cover:

• The signs of verbal and emotional abuse
• How gaslighting and name-calling wear you down
• Why verbal abuse is so often dismissed — and how to fight back
• How to reclaim your voice, your clarity, and your power

You’re not imagining it. You’re not overreacting. And you’re definitely not alone. It’s time to call it what it is — and heal.
