170: The Psychology of Abuse: How It Starts and How It Spreads

In this 11-minute episode, I explore the critical difference between situational conflict and characterological abuse and why understanding that distinction can change lives.I break down how some relationships struggle because of poor regulation and unhealthy conflict patterns, while others are rooted in power, fear, coercion, and control.I also discuss how abuse often begins in childhood through victim-blaming messages many people don’t even realize they absorbed, such as being taught that if someone hurts you, it must be because you “caused” it. From there, we examine how these same dynamics can scale beyond the home into workplaces, communities, and even governments.This episode is both educational and empowering: how to recognize dangerous patterns, when conflict can be healed, when safety must come first, and why abuse is never the victim’s fault.If you’ve ever questioned your reality, minimized harmful behavior, or wanted to better understand how power operates in relationships and society, this episode is for you.♾ In a fast-paced world like the one we live in, time is one of our most important assets. For a few minutes every episode, I, Tannaz Hosseinpour, will be discussing topics that aim to enhance the quality of your life, by helping you feel empowered to take inspired action on your personal growth journey.Connect with me for daily insights:InstagramFacebookTikTokMore resources available on www.minutesongrowth.comThis podcast is for educational purposes only.
