Abuse Awareness- Hidden in Plain Sight:
This workshop is a teaching event to raise awareness of the psychological abuse cycle of cluster B abuse. There are many forms of abuse besides physical. Abusers use privilege, isolation, emotional abuses, coercion and threats, psychological abuses, gaslighting, minimizing, projection, denying and blaming, sexual abuse, using children, manipulation, financial and legal abuse, and intimidation. Psychological abuse can be incredibly subtle, and isn’t always coercive. Extreme jealousy and possessiveness, for example, can be dressed up to look like care and concern.
Many women say violence wasn’t the worst part.
“Why the violence model doesn’t work: fewer than 5% of domestic violence assaults involve injury; only 1-2% involve serious injury; and an even smaller proportion lead to homicide. So, if you wait for homicide or serious injury or even injury before you intervene you miss 95% of domestic violence.” Evan Stark. PhD. MSW, Professor Emeritus, Rutgers University
Coercive Control- What is it?
This workshop is an interactive teaching event about how to recognize coercive control in its many forms, the myths about coercive control, and a question and answer session with resources.
Coercive Control Abusers engage in many controlling and psychological coercive methods to instill fear and total obedience in their victims. You are not ALONE, you are not the CRAZY one, their behavior is not your SECRET, it’s THEIRS.
Statistics and scientific evidence shows that the most dangerous abusers are covert. Intimate partner covert coercive controllers have the highest lethality rate as the first physical altercation is usually murder.
Learn how to recognize these behaviors and get out and protect yourself, NOW.
