Initial survey information collected through our intake form during our 2019 test phase:
Average prevalence of respondents who report past behavioral, emotional, financial, occupational, and intimate control.
67% experienced sexual abuse (double that of women reporting sexual abuse in general).
68% Report feeling "often" or "always" alone and having difficulty connecting with other people.
Do you experience repetitive and all-or-nothing thinking? Are you afraid of making mistakes? Do you have difficulties connecting with others, identifying your feelings, communicating your needs, or saying "no?"
​
Many experience involuntary thoughts, feelings, or behaviors as a result of coercive control. It's a normal reaction to an abnormal situation.
IS IT STILL AFFECTING YOU TODAY?
​
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could escape an abusive situation and just leave all the hurt behind?
However, coercion makes you internalize negative messages about yourself.
​
In order to fully step away, you have to address the impact of your experience.
Informed support is essential.
