WHEN DATING HURTS

Dear Listeners,

I was fortunate get time with Dr. Colleen Lelli. In this interview, she talks about her book, "Trauma Sensitive Schools - The Importance of Instilling Grit, Determination, and Resilience", which explains what can actually be going on within a student's mind caused by ongoing disruptions away from school.

You will find Dr. Lelli's observations eye-opening. You will see what I mean. 

Dr. Lelli has over 25 years of experience in the education field. Her research interests include: developing special education advocacy and support; enhancing preservice and in-service teachers’ knowledge of domestic violence; and growing teachers’ abilities to support the learning of those who have witnessed trauma.

Dr. Lelli has published and presented while providing teachers and professionals key strategies that help support children of trauma to learn effectively while in the classroom.

Dr. Lelli has served as co-president of the Board of Directors for The Laurel House domestic violence agency, and she is a board member of an agency representing sexual assault victims.

In this conversation, Dr. Colleen Lelli gives us much to think about and to apply. We are honored to have her thoughts here.

This is part two of two parts with Alexandra.

Her story follows along the path of many dating abuse victims. There were ample warning signs presented, but she didn't recognize them for what they were. And she stayed on a path that could have been her destruction.   

Taylor took advantage of Alexandra with every opportunity he created. When listening to this episode of the WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast, see how many red flags you can spot. It is good practice so you never fall prey to the various ways Taylor manipulated and compromised Alexandra.   

The relationship lasted only nine months, but for someone who is a victim, it can feel many times that.

Think about sharing this episode with your teenage children, a niece or nephew, anyone you feel would from hearing it.

This is part 3.

Sarah lives in Melbourne, Australia and yet her story could have emanated from anywhere.

You will recognize the patterns.

Nice woman meets guy and falls for him. He seems like what she was looking for but begins to show signs of potential trouble. She ignores signs and stays with him. It gets worse, but she works around the rough spots.

We have heard it before, but it is good to hear it from someone we would not expect to be swallowed up in it.

There is much to be studied in this three-part narrative. Sarah is such a positive soul and the way she tells this story will keep you listening until she finally makes her way free.

This is part two of a two-part story of abuse during high school.

Think of it as “Dating Violence 101”.

Rebecca takes us back to her high school years. As a sophomore, she met a guy and thought she was in love with him. He took full advantage of her.

This story is a narrative all parents should hear and share. Yes, it happened a few years back, but it could have been the same as a relationship taking place right now. There is plenty to be learned as Rebecca walks us through this classic dating violence scenario.

Think about sharing this with your teenage children, a niece or nephew, anyone you feel would from hearing it.
