Content note: This episode discusses suicide, intimate partner abuse, and traumatic loss.
In this mini-series episode, I revisit number eight in the top ten most listened-to episodes: my conversation with Shavaun Scott, a psychotherapist and author who shares the story of her husband’s revenge suicide — an act carried out on the very day she asked for a divorce, after 17 years in an abusive relationship.
Shavaun brings nearly 35 years of clinical experience and 20 years of personal reflection to a conversation about complicated grief, the moral injuries of suicide, the psychological toll of intimate partner abuse, and what healing actually looks like over time. Her memoir, Nightbird, explores this journey in full.
This is one of the most powerful and honest conversations in the podcast’s history.
