Podcast #32 - Psychologically kidnapped? Coercive control and domestic abuse w/ Dr. Debra Wingfield
October is Domestic Abuse Awareness Month! This is a very INFORMATIVE podcast on domestic violence and coercive control. PDF slideshow available (link below). What is the difference between domestic violence and coercive control? For years, people have thought of domestic abuse as only physical violence, but research shows that domestic abuse is not an "incident" that happens, but rather can be a pattern of behavior of coercive control.
Many times domestic abuse and coercive control can fly under the radar and look "normal" when in reality, it isn't. Physical violence is an obvious way to recognize abuse. However, there are many other non-physical forms of abuse that we dive into in this podcast, including: coercive control, intimidation, oppressive language, emotional and financial abuse, isolation, gaslighting, name calling, etc. Children can also be used as a tool to manipulate and abuse a spouse.
"Stay and Pray" is a common yet very damaging message that is preached to women in the church. Often times women stay in abusive relationships longer because of religious beliefs!
Debra Wingfield, Ed.D. is an Author, Speaker, and Trainer with 46 years of combined experience working with abuse across the lifespan.
