At the dawn of the social media era, Belle Gibson became a pioneering wellness influencer - telling the world how she beat cancer with an alternative diet. Her bestselling cookbook and online app provided her success, respect, and a connection to the cancer-battling influencer she admired the most. But a curious journalist with a sick wife began asking questions that even those closest to Belle began to wonder. Was the online star faking her cancer and fooling the world? Kaitlyn Dever stars in the Netflix hit series Apple Cider Vinegar . Inspired by true events, the dramatized story follows Belle’s journey from self-styled wellness thought leader to disgraced con artist.

SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched Apple Cider Vinegar yet, make sure to add it to your watch-list before listening on. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts .…

Please note this practice should only be done if you have practiced mindfulness for some time. Saira has created these mindfulness practices for you to try. You're best starting with the shorter ones. And just bring them in a few times a week.

After a crisis everything can feel like a big ball of distress. Everything feels as though it is spilling out and it can be hard to make sense of what is happening internally. To help with this Saira uses mindfulness. In this episode she explains what mindfulness is and why it's so helpful in recovery from a psychological perspective. Of course as with every tool in the recovery toolkit it doesn't work for everybody. Trust your judgment and intuition.

Much of the research around survivors of coercive control is grim and dark according to Saira. So in this episode she is sharing her thoughts around post-traumatic growth. Of course survivors, including Saira herself, have been through grim and dark times but they also have a real strength. Having said that it's important to note that post-traumatic growth does not mean that the crisis or the trauma that was experienced was worth experiencing in any shape or form, but the gains that happened were an unintended consequence of this horrific event.

For people on the outside of abusive relationships it can be very confusing to see survivors return to the person who has harmed them. And it's often confusing for the survivor too, this desire or urge to go back to the person who has hurt them. In this episode Saira examines why this might happen.

Recovery from coercive control is possible. In this episode Saira explores how she works with survivors and the stages of recovery. Of course every survivor has their own story and it's not fair to generalise across everybody's experience but there are similarities in how people do recover. Saira's work with survivors is based on Judith Herman and her stages of recovery. And as you'll hear, more often than not, recovery is not linear - it's more like a spiral.

The first step in recovery is understanding what has happened to you. The next is making sense of what has happened to you, before you accepting that this has actually happened. And you can't start that first step until you know what coercive control actually is. In this episode Saira explores what coercive control is so you can recognise it happening.
