Podcasts can be a gentle way to hear from others, learn more about domestic abuse, and find encouragement on your healing journey. They can offer comfort, understanding, and practical advice, all at a pace that feels right for you.
Below are some recommended podcasts. These have been chosen for the way they support survivors, share stories, or help build understanding about abuse and recovery. We’ve also included content from ESDAS’s own podcast page so you can access what we provide.

Remember: You are in control of what you listen to and when. Take what feels helpful and leave what doesn’t. Healing is a journey, you don’t have to do it all at once.
