Minimized, shamed, and empty: covert emotional abuse & starting to set new boundaries

Join Megan Wyatt as she answers Wives of Jannah community member marriage related questions from her inbox. In this episode, a wife asks a painful question about how to move forward in a marriage where she has had her feelings minimzed, shamed, judged, and neglected by her husband. Feeling like a robot and a "dead soul," as she says, Megan offers some steps to help her start reclaiming herself and her life back.  If you connect with her or this podcast and think you might be experiencing a form of emotional abuse, I encourage you to research your feelings and experiences for clarity. Clarity is always step one to taking care of yourself and developing healthier boundaries.  *** To ask a question of your own visit: www.wivesofjanah.com/askaquestion  Learn about relationship coaching:  www.wivesofjannah.com/coaching To download a free ebook visit: www.wivesofjanah.com/ebooks *** Book mentioned and recommendations:  "The Verbally Abusive Relationship, Expanded Third Edition: How to recognize it and how to respond" by Patricia Evans"Why Does He Do That?: by Lundy Bancroft   

Om Podcasten

The goal of Wives of Jannah is to strengthen Muslim women and their marriages through Islamic based relationship coaching, programs, written work, and resources like this podcast. What guides me in my work are three words: mouda, rahmah, and sakinah- the three words used in the Qur'an to describe marriage in chapter 30: ayah 21 - those translate to love, mercy, and tranquility. Marriage is something you learn while in it which means none of us arrive in our relationships knowing exactly what to do. I hope this podcast can offer you some insight from my relationship coaching experience starting back in 2009. - Megan Wyatt
