Stalking Australia TRAILER

Episode 10 is a deep dive into stalking types, characteristics of stalkers, and useful information to help victims of stalking.TRIGGER WARNINGAfter recording this episode a victim of domestic violence sent me a recording of a DV incident. I feel this is very important for people to listen to. It gives a real insight into the terror and helplessness a stalking victim feels. If you feel this may trigger you, I suggest you not listen to this episode.   Sources:Emily Spence-Diehl (1999). A Handbook for Stalking Victims. https://www.una.edu/manesafety/Stalking/stalkinghandbookforvictims.pdfMacKenzie, R.D., McEwan, T.E., Pathé, M.T., James, D.V., Ogloff, J.R.P., & Mullen, P.E.

You can meet people anywhere. Things were great in the beginning, but things went from bad to worse pretty quickly. From black eyes, to choking, to eventually having a price on her head.Twitter: Stalking Australia @Stalking Austra 2Facebook: Stalking Australia@StalkingaustraliaIf you or someone you know is being stalked please reach out for help: Literally, millions are stalked every year, yet there is still so much stigma, silence, and shame around this subject.

But throw into the mix two young children with maladaptive behaviour, and a young mother who has just undergone spinal surgery, leaving her in a wheelchair during recuperation. Now, what was needed here was a nanny who could fly in like Mary Poppins and help Shannon with the children and chores. What flew in was a mother's worst nightmare.Twitter : Stalking Australia @Stalking Austra 2Facebook : Stalking Australia@StalkingaustraliaIf you or someone you know is being stalked please reach out for help: Literally millions are stalked every year, yet there is still so much stigma, silence, and shame around this subject.

Have you ever been love bombed? Love bombing happens when someone overwhelms you with loving words, actions, and behaviour as a manipulation technique. It can be very flattering in the beginning but can soon become overwhelming when they pressure you into rushing into things. For example, planning marriage or moving in together when you've only known each other a short while. Rebecca went from being loved bombed to installing security cameras to seeking an AVO from the courts.Twitter : Stalking Australia @Stalking Austra 2Facebook : Stalking Australia@StalkingaustraliaIf you or someone you know is being stalked please reach out for help: Literally millions are stalked every year, yet there is still so much stigma, silence, and shame around this subject.

After calling her Lyndall twice, in error, we laughed about it and she was fine then going by Lyndall. Lyndall was in an abusive relationship for 10 years. She talks us through her journey, including a broken arm by her stalker, avo breaches and eventually having to move from the small town, where everyone knows your name.Twitter : Stalking Australia @Stalking Austra 2Facebook : Stalking Australia@StalkingaustraliaIf you or someone you know is being stalked please reach out for help: Literally millions are stalked every year, yet there is still so much stigma, silence, and shame around this subject.
