Description

So many victims of Coercive Control -Narcissistic Abuse do not realize they are being victimized. Individuals assume that if they have not suffered physical violence, then they have not been abused. The systems often align with this way of interpreting abuse. Unfortunately, looking through the “violent incident model” does not give us the full picture of how and why abuse occurs: Abuse is about exerting power over another - coercive control. Coercive control is the underpinning of all abuse and victims-survivors need the support of their mental health professionals in identifying and escaping the abuse, whether it is overt or covert.  

  • Learn how coercive control (narcissistic abuse) is inflicted upon victim-survivors and how even the most astute of us can miss the signs.  
  • This all-new evidence-based training will fully prepare you to treat victims-survivors as they navigate escaping the abuse, including the further infliction of coercive control post-separation, known as post-separation abuse.  
  • Systems often perceive these cases as “high conflict” failing to recognize the often covert abuses that are occurring to everyone within the family system. The use of psychological, financial, legal, and sexual abuse - and worse, the weaponization of children is often diminished or entirely dismissed.   
  • You’ll get the most up-to-date and trauma-based approach from one of the world’s leading experts in coercive control - the underpinning of domestic abuse.  
  • Come learn how to be the best clinician and ally you can be for these clients who are in critical need of expert help and guidance in today’s modern world.
