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.

If we aren't talking about coercive control we aren't talking about domestic abuse, it's there at the beginning and it's there at the end. It's the thread that runs through domestic abuse.

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"

From a very young age all I ever wanted was my own desk and to work in an office as a secretary.
But the Universe has a very different journey that I was going to take.
I've now got my desk as a Coercive Control Consultant, Lived Experience Speaker and the Face and Founder of SODA 😍

I am looking to connect with anyone who works in the NHS so I can explain how my ABC of coercive control checklist can be incorporated in your everyday practice.
I believe that this checklist will help us recognise coercive control sooner rather than later.

🌈 I attended the Unmasking Cyber Violence Awareness, Action and Advocacy Conference at Conference Aston, today as a panel expert.
💜 I existed in a controlling situation in the early 2000s and I spoke about how back then, for me, the only technology abuse I experienced was through my mobile phone.
