When Love Feels Like a Demand: Understanding Sexual Coercion in Abusive Relationships

In this personal episode, I unpack the complex and often misunderstood topic of sexual coercion in abusive relationships. Sharing my own experiences and insights, I explores how coercion is framed as a "need," how guilt and pressure replace consent, and how sex becomes a tool for control rather than connection. If you've ever felt obligated to meet your partner’s emotional needs at the cost of your own well-being, this episode will help you recognize the manipulation at play and take steps toward healing.
