“Why is this happening to me and how do I make it stop?”

I’ve lost count of the times someone has said that to me. I used to say it myself…until I learned what coercive control is and what I could do about it.

The insidious coercive pattern of behaviors can turn even the most knowledgeable and independent person into a terrified, self-blaming, victim.

Coercive control has been running rampant through society for centuries…no one is immune…most just don’t know it’s happening or don’t know what it is and how to stop it.

Highlights:

• What does coercive control look like?
• Warning signs / Red flags to watch for.
• Is coercive control illegal?
• The Courts: how they’ve handled coercive control & how they should handle it.
