Psychologist Dr. Becky Spelman interview's people about their extraordinary life stories.

On today’s episode Dr. Becky interviews Alex Skeel domestic abuse survivor whose near-fatal abuse at the hands of his girlfriend, Jordan attracted widespread media coverage due to the extreme nature of the abuse. Alex’s girlfriend controlled, beat, stabbed, starved and tortured him, leaving him with severed tendons and burns. She also prevented him from receiving medical treatment for injuries she inflicted. When Alex was finally removed from the situation doctors told him that he had been 10 days from dying because he’d been denied food for so long and his injuries were so bad. Alex's ex girlfriend is now serving 7 and a half years in prison.

This is a candid conversation between Dr. Becky and Alex, it’s not a therapy session but they talk about the psychological impact of the events Alex has experienced.
