Unpacking the Modern Cycle of Abuse: Power, Control, and Human Patterns

Unpacking the Modern Cycle of Abuse: Power, Control, and Human Patterns

The old narratives about abuse don’t always fit what we see today.
This week, I’m joined by Kristen Searcy, whose revolutionary Model of Abuse challenges everything we think we know about violence and control. We’re talking about how real change begins when we focus on consistent behaviors, not clinical labels.


Kristen Searcy is an EMDRIA certified EMDR Trauma Therapist and the founder of A Desert In Bloom Therapy in Phoenix. She specializes in helping women heal from complex trauma, domestic violence and eating disorders, blending clinical expertise with an artist's soul. Her work guides women toward the freedom to live fully in the present and to sing their own heart song again.
