Escape the Paradox
Welcome to Escape the Paradox, where I explore the reality of coercive control—the cruel Catch 22 where home, the place meant to be safest, becomes the most dangerous. I’m Helena, sharing my story and diving into research, survivor experiences, and expert insights to uncover tools for healing and reclaiming your truth. Together, we’ll navigate the healing journey and I'll help you gain the confidence and strength to understand and own your narrative.

Introduction: Breaking My Paradox
This podcast discusses sensitive topics, including coercive control and the emotional impact of abuse.
In this introduction, I share why I believe it’s so important to learn how to verbalize the impact coercive control has. By sharing my truth, I hope to help others do the same. I’m claiming my narrative, and healing alongside you. By sharing my own story, I hope to show others that it’s not only possible to break the silence, but it’s also an essential step in the healing process.
Together, we’ll explore the complexities of coercive control, learn how to speak our truth, and find strength in knowing we’re not alone. This is a space where we can come together, share our struggles, and rebuild our lives, one word at a time.
