In this episode Colette Martin shares her extraordinary story of survival. Colette was attacked in 1997 by her ex Derek Cormier. He slit her throat and stabbed her 37 times. Colette survived against all odds.
Join Laura as she interviews Colette to unravel the warning signs of coercive control and stalking related behaviours as well as spotlighting the perpetrator's disturbing history of domestic violence, a history that Colette knew nothing about.
This powerful and honest conversation will save lives. It's a tough watch but we have to talk about the realities of DV and how dangerous DV perpetrators are. They hide in plain sight.
October is DV Awareness Month.
Don't suffer in silence.
