Have you ever wondered why someone stays in an abusive relationship… or why victims of trafficking don't simply walk away?

The answer is far more complicated than most people realize.

In this episode, I sit down with retired FBI Special Agent Eric Robinson, who spent 24 years investigating crimes against children, human trafficking, and violent offenders. Before joining the FBI, Eric was a Baptist pastor—a journey that gave him a unique perspective on both justice and compassion.

Together, we talk about:
✅ The biggest myths about human trafficking
✅ Why many victims don't realize they're being manipulated
✅ How childhood trauma can make someone more vulnerable to exploitation
✅ The warning signs that someone may be under the control of another person
✅ Why healing often doesn't begin until there's distance from the abuse

This conversation isn't just about crime.

It's about understanding trauma, breaking harmful misconceptions, and learning how we can better support survivors.

If you've ever asked yourself, "Why didn't they just leave?"—this episode may completely change the way you think.
