Nobody Should Believe Me - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Each episode is filled with stories of a subject that is still being pushed under the rug. Medical child abuse is nothing new but rarely discussed this in depth. You can tell that the host is truly passionate about this subject, as it is a part of her family story. Listen and learn how this form of abuse is happening and how many of the parents are made to look like the victims in the media without protecting the true victims, the children.

As a licensed trauma therapist and child abuse survivor myself - though I didn’t experience MBP - I found this podcast to be very well done and most importantly, as a survivor, healing. Andrea’s passion and thorough handling of both the personal and complicated nature of this diagnoses make it hard not to binge. I listened to season 4 first, then 1, 2 and now I’m 2/3 done with 3. I disagree with the podcaster and child abuse “expert” Jessica who says that Stockholm Syndrome is not real. It certainly is real. It is at the extreme end of a “fawn” trauma response. My favorite seasons so far are 4 and 1. I found there was less repetition and the reporting and stories had a natural flow. Highly recommend for educational content and I am grateful to have the added bonus of healing. Thank You Andrea and others on this team.

I have worked for years with young children with disabilities. Much of my work has been home based and I have seen medical child abuse in person. I didn’t always know what to do with my suspicions. Andrea’s coverage of this topic and the legitimacy and compassion she brings to it have taught me a lot. I hope that everyone can listen and learn something about how to help kids.

As a school based psychologist for 24 years this podcast has reinforced and introduced me to the the nuances of Munchausen. I know I’ve witnessed variations throughout my career and the lack of information from healthcare to CPS is incredible . You are bringing needed attention to this and I can only hope it somehow leads to more awareness across systems .
