130 - 5 Signs of Hidden Abuse: Coercive Control

Welcome back to the channel. In this video, we dive deep into coercive control—an insidious form of abuse that can happen in any relationship, whether romantic, professional, or familial. You'll learn about the signs of coercive control, how it develops over time, and why it’s so difficult for victims to leave. We also discuss the emotional and psychological impact of coercive control and why comments like “Why don’t you just leave?” or “That would never happen to me” are not only unhelpful, but harmful to survivors.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
👍🏼 What coercive control is and how it affects the victim’s autonomy and sense of self
👍🏼 The gradual, subtle nature of coercive control and how it can go unnoticed
👍🏼 Why it’s so hard for people to leave abusive situations, even when they want to
👍🏼 The emotional and psychological damage caused by coercive control
👍🏼 The harmful impact of dismissive comments like "Why don’t you just leave?"
👍🏼 How to spot the signs of coercive control in relationships—personal, work, and adult children-parent dynamics
👍🏼 Resources and help for victims of coercive control

If you or someone you know is experiencing coercive control, don’t suffer in silence. This video will help you understand what to look out for and how to break free from the cycle of control.
