  What Smear Campaigns Do to Your Nervous System (and How to Respond)

  Jan 14, 202625 minS0

  <p>Send us a text</p><p>In this episode of Adult Nonfiction, we explore <b>reputational harm</b>—the slow, cumulative damage caused by <b>smear campaigns, rumor-spreading, exclusion, and group bullying</b> in workplaces, neighbourhoods, parent communities, and social circles. We unpack why adults engage in these patterns, how group dynamics can escalate cruelty while disguising it as “concern,” and why repetitional harm can be deeply destabilizing even when no single incident seems “serious enough.” This episode offers practical, non-inflammatory strategies for targets and bystanders, including language to interrupt rumours, ways to document patterns, and how to protect your nervo...

  Why Police Don’t See Coercive Control (Patterns vs Incidents)

  Jan 9, 202612 minS0

  <p>Send us a text</p><p><b>Episode 2 explores why abuse is so often missed when systems focus on isolated incidents instead of patterns.</b> Drawing on lived experience and research from scholars who study coercive control, bullying, trauma, and relational harm, this episode explains how repeated, low-level behaviors can cause deep psychological damage even when no single act looks “severe.” It examines why survivors struggle to explain patterns, why institutions frequently dismiss cumulative harm, and how better language can help name what’s happening before it escalates. This episode is an invitation to survivors, professionals, bystanders, and those reflec...
