The Hidden Dangers of Coercive Control
Coercive control is considered highly dangerous because it erodes the victim’s sense of self, autonomy, and freedom, often leaving deep psychological scars. This form of abuse can create an atmosphere of constant fear and dependence, affecting mental health and overall well-being. Unlike physical abuse, coercive control may go unrecognised for long periods, allowing the abuser to gain a complete hold over the victim’s life.
At Family Violence Mindset Solutions, our Coercive Control Course addresses the unique dangers of coercive control, offering survivors tools for reclaiming autonomy.
Why Coercive Control Is So Harmful
- Undermines Mental Health – Constant manipulation and intimidation take a toll on the victim’s mental health, leading to anxiety, depression, and self-doubt.
- Destroys Relationships – By isolating the victim from support networks, coercive control traps them in dependency.
- Limits Autonomy – Control over finances, communication, and movement restricts the victim’s freedom.
- Can Escalate Over Time – Without intervention, coercive control can become more intense and, in some cases, may lead to physical violence.
