What does physical abuse look like when you have no bruises to show as proof?

I've really had to grow my thought patterns around the topic of physical abuse. First I denied it. Then I excused it. Then I recognized it. Now I'm processing it. This is most commonly what my dialogue used to sound like:
1. But he never hit me.
2. It could be worse.
3. Other women are actually getting beat. I'm not, so it can't be that bad right?

Listen to find out what physical abuse looks like when it's not leaving bruises.
