Hi, I’m Pia
“After growing up in an abusive home, followed by years of abusive relationships, I went through several rounds of therapy – but I have never met anyone with the same depth of understanding of the issues, the wounds and the healing as Pia. She is highly recommended”

Vi bryter tystnaden
In 2018, I launched the Swedish movement Vi Bryter Tystnaden (We Break the Silence) to shine a light on a reality that had long remained invisible – men’s violence and post-separation abuse against women and children. The MeToo revolution had shaken the world and put sexual assault and harassment on the agenda, but the violence that takes place in silence, behind closed doors, was still overlooked.
We broke the silence and gave voice to women who were not free even after leaving – where the psychological, physical and financial abuse continued in the shadows. At that time, the term for post-separation abuse did not even exist in the Swedish Academy’s dictionary. Today, it does.
In 2020, the stories of twelve women – and those of their loved ones – became a book: a painful yet vital collection of testimonies about the reality so many live in. Psychologist and relationship expert Eva Rusz, who coined the term “relationship psychopath”, contributed a special chapter where she shares her expertise on abusive relationships.
Alongside the powerful stories, the book also contains practical advice and guidance – both for those directly affected and for their loved ones.
I spoke about these issues – and the book – in my TV4 interview, alongside lawyer Rebecca Lagh. You can watch the interview here: TV4 Nyhetsmorgon (In Swedish)
