​​Have you ever felt so strongly about an issue, that your emotions have taken you to a place where you have said or done things that made the problem worse? Are you a robot? No, of course you have. In this episode, we talk to the domestic violence specialist mending a hole in our country. Bec Lee is healing the men who in this scenario used harm on others, creating a domestic violence event.

Ms Rebecca Lee, who has been in several DV relationships herself, is healing herself and a hole in a part of regional NSW with her behaviour change program for men who have used harm - and it actually works - it’s been piloted, and now she has quantifiable evidence to back it up. 
That may not sound like anything spectacular, but for those of you who know a little about the men’s behaviour change space, it is fraught with complexity - it’s pretty hard for us as adults to change our behaviours, especially when there are so many past traumas to uncover and resolve, not to mention the multitude of unhelpful yet very influential cultural norms for Australian males. And domestic and family violence are a massive #$@$ing issue in this country, negatively affecting a LOT of Australians. So yeah - she’s kind of like a really big deal, and I was absolutely pumped to have her on the show…

Thank you for tuning in, and I hope you enjoy the show.
 
Ps. If you ARE a robot then congratulations on your sentience.
