Invisible Chains: From Domestic Violence to Coercive Control
Presented by Lisa Aronson Fontes, PhD
We can better address and eliminate intimate partner violence if we see the problem as an ongoing crime of control-more like a long-term hostage situation than a series of domestic violence assaults. With original drawings and compelling stories, this presentation explains the tactics of coercive control including isolation, intimidation, monitoring, gaslighting, stalking and physical violence. Some abusers use coercive control without physical violence-which can be especially confusing for victims and survivors.
Learning Objectives:
1) Learn the tactics of coercive control in intimate relationships.
2) Understand how coercive control shapes a victim's behavior.
3) Improve your ability to detect and intervene in situations of coercive control and intimate partner violence.

Thank you.
No privacy bathroom door taken off not leaving personal hygiene items alone. I said oh my god when I heard you say that.
My abuser of Coercive Control followed me into the homeless shelters I stayed at and into the same apartment complex as me. They use the people around me to stalk, monitor and harass me. My own siblings took part in it and ex partners.
Really enjoyed how detailed this information is. Thank you so much ❤️
I have this constant anxiety thing where I feel like I have to yawn but I can’t catch my breath to yawn. I left my abuser for 5 days to go to Hawaii and see my college dorm friend. For the first time in years, I could breath. It starts when I hear his footsteps in the morning and stays until I go to sleep. I have a few hours every morning that this doesn’t happen. I’m seeing an attorney today but am so scared.

40:13, wow, where was that in 2013?
What is the etiology of Domestic Violence/Coercive Controlling behavior? Do all these abusers have diagnosis of (Antisocial Personality Disorder) or Malignant narcissism? or not necessarily ?

From what I know about it through Evan Stark, not necessarily. Strong fears of abandonment combined with behaviors to avoid insecurity and abandonment by means of coercion/control (violence) are said to always play a role in the abusers.

@@leluefran Patriarchy and male dominance & power and the "cult" called Culture and Society that enables it. many Men are against the rights of females and their right to their own atonomy their children and their own power over their own lives, and having money of their own to survive. There are narcissistic females called pick me women who help these extremely sexist males for favors and money because they don't realize they are working against their own best interests. it's all about power!! It is what it is and it's not complicated. We need a much better legal system and government that believes in real justice and freedom of women and children from abusive males. Males in patriarchy societies are purely selfish and hateful and those who aren't don't really care because it helps them too. The men who do care are not large enough yet to change things but they are rising.

Stronget seems their laziness, bcrelationships are work and their biggest drive comes from their aversion to legitimate suffering that all humans have to grapple with during their lives, what I call "Chop wood; haul water" referring to drudgery and get out of having to basically wipe their own asses, and avoid any effort they have to put forth that doesn't earn them accolades and/or earn the ideal imagevof a generous benefactor

A good majority of abusers do, but the research suggests, not always. In my own personal experience, even if the abuser does have a diagnosed personality disorder,the abuser will use the diagnosis to justify their bad behavior on the personality disorder!
Have you dealt with Asperger's...neurodiverse marriage situations? The behaviors of an Aspie effects their spouse in many of these ways. 😔

I thought my husband was autistic for years and couldn’t help himself. A few months ago, he threatened to beat the shit out of me. That brought me out of my fog. I realized he did have control of himself bc he didn’t act that way in front of others. I also discovered he fucking loved every minute of my torment. Seeing attorney today!

@@joancrawford1146 Yep. Majority of these situations are violent men who feel entitled to control women. Abusers are not generally neurodiverse or mentally ill. Stats prove it. I earnestly hope that you are doing ok
