  • Life Changing

    Matt and Sheri are real, honest and genuine. Finding this podcast changed my life. I felt so alone and that no one understood what life was like with a high functioning alcoholic spouse. Listening to their podcast and joining Echoes validated all my feelings and helped me start to heal.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep322 – Ask Lara
Q: Why does it seem that all the focus is on developmental or childhood conditioning when treating adults?
Lara explains that wounds from the past can intensify current behaviors, and it's essential to hold compassion for the present while acknowledging past events.
Ep316 – Partner Abuse with Lundy Bancroft
Q: How should women document their experiences in custody situations?
Women are advised to document their experiences, but it's crucial that this information is used strategically in court, as it can be potentially weaponized against them.
Ep316 – Partner Abuse with Lundy Bancroft
Q: How do attitudes toward emotional and cruel abuse impact the likelihood of physical escalation?
Those engaging in ongoing emotional or psychological abuse are often more likely to escalate to physical violence as they become accustomed to harmful behavior.
Ep316 – Partner Abuse with Lundy Bancroft
Q: What's the rehabilitation success rate in your line of work?
One time through an abuser program has about the same effectiveness as one time through other behavioral programs, with low success rates unless it's an extensive and continued process.
