Nobody Should Believe Me - Munchausen By Proxy w/ Andrea Dunlop

Join us for a deep dive into the disturbing and complex disorder known as Munchausen by Proxy with podcast host Andrea Dunlop. This rare form of child abuse involves caregivers, often mothers, inducing illness or injury in their children to garner attention and sympathy. Tune in to learn more about this disturbing psychological phenomenon and how it can be identified and addressed. We discuss how Andrea’s experience with this abuse has moved her toward helping heal others. Andrea Dunlop is a podcaster and the author of five books, including the novel Women Are the Fiercest Creatures (March 2023; Zibby Book) and a forthcoming true crime book from St Martin's Press. Andrea is a member of the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children’s Munchausen by Proxy committee and the co-founder (along with Dr. Marc Feldman) of Munchausen Support, a resource site and 501c3. She lives in Seattle with her husband and two children.  Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nobody-should-believe-me/id1615637188 Website https://www.andreadunlop.net/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/andreadunlop   Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@andrea.dunlop  Wanna say thanks for a great episode?

Many people have experienced some form of trauma in their life. I decided at an early age that our trauma should not be what defines us; it’s what we choose to do with it that does. I was just 11 years old when I witnessed my father murder my mother. When no one believed me except one detective, I gathered evidence against my father, leading police to discover her body buried in another state.  After featuring my story on Forensic Files, I channeled my trauma into filmmaking and podcasting, gaining widespread recognition as the creator and subject of A Murder in Mansfield, a film directed by two-time Oscar winner Barbara Kopple. I share my unique perspective on surviving true crime and trauma every week, overcoming adversity, society, and popular culture. I also interview fellow trauma survivors, academics, advocates, and storytellers and explore what comes next.  You can learn more about Collier on his website: https://www.collierlandry.com
