Coercive control escalates overtime leading to severe psychological harm. Without early intervention those experiencing it will become increasingly entrapped & isolated. My ABC framework enables early detection of red flags, allowing timely support before the abuse intensifies.

Early intervention is critical in addressing coercive control due to its progression and cumulative impact. My ABC framework facilitates early recognition and response by raising awareness and reducing stigma. A: Appearance B: Behaviour C: Conversation

Coercive control subtly starts off as care, charm charismatic, making you feel special, making you feel safe, warm and loved. It puts you on a pedestal for the whole world to see how lovely the perpetrator is. Telling a completely different story behind closed doors.

Good morning world 🌎 3 things about coercive control 👇 ❌ It's the thread that runs through domestic abuse ❌ It carries on even when the person has left the situation ❌ It is also used against professionals and practitioners ❌ It's a subtle incidious crime

I support @naturewatch.org and their Protect Animals. Protect People Campaign. The perpetrator I existed with stabbed our pet bird as a consequence for me - because I went to bed without him. Perpetrators hurt pets in order to gain power and control 🚩 naturewatch.org/campaigns/prot…

Being safe in an abusive situation is when we are still in the situation seeing exactly what the perpetrator is doing. Feeling unsafe in an abusive situation is when we've found the strength & courage to escape & we can't see what's coming next. #coercivecontrol #domesticabuse

They aren't your abuser/perpetrator. They are abusers. They are perpetrators. They don't belong to you, you don't own them and you owe them nothing. Let's change the script. Let's change the narrative. Let's change the language. #coercivecontrol #domesticabuse

Coercive control can manifest through isolation, where the perpetrator restricts the victims access to friends, family and support networks leading to feelings of loneliness and helplessness. #CoerciveControl #Awareness #impact

Remember coercive control & domestic abuse doesn't stop for the summer. Think of all the children & young people who will be exposed to & experiencing coercive control & domestic abuse during the holidays. Summer holidays do not cause domestic abuse 🚩

Most of the people wanting to create change in the domestic abuse sector are people with lived experience of the abhorrent crime. The people with the power to create change don't have lived experience of domestic abuse. To create real change, the two must come together.

Societies lack of acknowledgement to coercive control will never allow a resolution.

Coercive control impacts your future relationships and friendships as you begin to analyze and question everything.

Coercive control is pushing down on the accelerator, slamming down on the brake, making you fear for your life, whilst travelling to visit family, friends or attending a party as "the perfect couple", being asked, how was the journey? Oh fine thanks 🙂 #coercivecontrol

How does the body language of a domestic abuse victim differ in public versus private settings, and what might these differences indicate?

For ages and ages I've been looking at bouquets of gorgeous sunflowers from afar, saying to myself, I'll treat myself one day. And that day is today 😍 I am celebrating me and all I have achieved so far this year 🥳 Loving life. Loving me 🫶

Coercive control is a process, a pattern, a punishment. It's never a one off, a mistake or about anger. It is deliberate, it is purposeful and it is dangerous.

Coercive control is a process and procedure. It's about power and control. #CoerciveControl #Awareness

Stop minimising survivors lived experience and start maximising professionals education and empathy #coercivecontrol #domesticabuse #Awareness #impact

If you're still asking, why don't you just leave, this is why 👇 Hanibur Masum, 26, launched the "ferocious" attack on 27-year old Kulsuma Akter after tracking her to a refuge where she had gone to escape him. news.sky.com/story/flatpl...

Domestic abuse doesn't start with a punch or physical violence, it starts with power and control.

The ABC checklist of coercive control 👇

This is a quote one of my SODA ladies gave me when describing coercive control. I shared it during my recent training session with @cateccles.bsky.social "Coercive control happens without you realising, but affects your whole life even after you've left the relationship" #coercivecontrol #impact

Proud to be supporting @naturewatch.org and their Protect Animals Protect People Campaign 🐾❤️ Raising the profile of animal welfare in the context of domestic abuse is crucial, especially when the connection between the two is often under-recognised.

Well done to Mark Randell and the @naturewatch.org team for calling for mandatory training. Humbled to have added my voice to this article 🫶 www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

When the perpetrators behaviour shows a pattern, that's when it becomes a problem. #coercivecontrol #Awareness

Putting a perpetrator on bail, giving them an "order to abide by" or giving them a suspended sentence tells me even though coercive control has been a crime for a decade it's still misunderstood. #CoerciveControl #Awareness

Strange how a perpetrator will always have a crazy ex, a mother who is an enabler and you will always have a friend who fancies them 🤷 #coercivecontrol #Awareness

As well as being caring, charismatic and charming, perpetrators of coercive control are clever. Not only do they manipulate the person directly experiencing this insidious crime but they also manipulate professionals, colleagues, friends and family members. #CoerciveControl

The behaviour of someone experiencing domestic abuse is noticed long before the behaviour of a perpetrator is noticed. Someone experiencing domestic abuse will stop texting, calling or going out but no one realises it's because of the perpetrators behaviour. #CoerciveControl

Coercive control can leave deep scars, without physical violence. It's a pattern of behaviour designed to control & isolatate. It's a pattern of behaviour preventing a person from living their life with a perpetrator gaining & maintaining control. #CoerciveControl #Awareness

As well as being caring, charismatic and charming, perpetrators of coercive control are clever. Not only do they manipulate the person directly experiencing this insidious crime but they also manipulate professionals, colleagues, friends and family members. #coercivecontrol #awareness

In a country where coercive control is misunderstood, minimised and the maximum sentence is 5 years in prison, we have just handed perpetrators even more power. #AssistedDyingBill #AssistedDying

Thank you so much for the feedback @cateccles.bsky.social on today's session. #CoerciveControl #DomesticAbuse #Awareness #Impact

I am delivering training locally today, in Stourbridge. I'll be sharing my lived experience and talking about coercive control, domestic abuse and its impact with @cateccles.bsky.social and her team. Really looking forward to today!

It was easier to stay in & not go out because the bombardment of calls & texts were relentless. When out, I could never relax, knowing I would be questioned & accused when I got back home. He went everyday, sometimes he wouldn't come back until the next day. #coercivecontrol
