Send us a text

Trauma-informed consultant Trish Guise explains what coercive control really is and why slapping the label narcissist on every toxic ex can miss the bigger danger. She breaks down the early red flags, how coercive control continues after separation, and why family courts so often fail to protect survivors. Trish also shares how shifting the focus from the victim to the abuser changes everything in custody and safety planning.
