Dr. Cocchiola highlights how coercive control in the home can significantly impact a child's developing brain and emotional wellbeing. Drawing from her experiences in child welfare and as a survivor herself, she emphasizes the importance of providing a safe space for children by preventing them from being forced into interactions with their abusers.

The Coercive Controller exerts power over everyone - including our children. His primary focus is to ensure our children feel shame and he kindles that overtly and covertly with them. We need to do whatever we can to extinguish this - shame-reducing responses are so important, yet so challenging when our children trigger our trauma.

What if you could look down on the relationship dynamics with the coercive controller [Narcissistic Abuser]?

What has the coercive controller been saying about you you since DAY ONE?

We need THE LIST so that we can counteract the abusers intentional diminishing of the protective parent and we need to begin to change THE STORY our children believe to be true.
