Stalking's Psychological Impact , Implications for Therapists

In this episode of Locked Up Living, hosted by Dr Naomi Murphy of Octopus Psychology, I discuss the psychological impact of stalking , what it does to someone's sense of safety, how it affects daily life, and what therapists need to understand when working with people who have been stalked.

Stalking is often minimised or misunderstood, even within the therapy profession. This conversation explores why it matters that therapists take it seriously, name it clearly, and understand the specific psychological harm it causes. We discuss how stalking differs from other forms of abuse, why targets often struggle to be believed, and what therapeutic support needs to look like.
