Coercive Control: The Effects – Episode 6

In the sixth episode of our series on coercive control, Dr Torna Pitman examines the wide-ranging effects of psychologically abusive and controlling relationships.

These effects may be cognitive, emotional or physical and are typically accompanied by decreased material wellbeing and a reduction in life chances.

Over time, these effects may result in Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) which can afflict every aspect of the victim's life.

This series is for our clients, your clients, your friends or family and the general public. Knowledge saves lives and helps us recognise the loss of human rights inherent to unequal relationships.
