In this powerful episode I’m joined by Ann Larkin, CEO from Women's Aid Dundalk, to explore the insidious nature of coercive control in romantic relationships. We discuss how coercive control can look in everyday life, the emotional and psychological tactics abusers use to maintain power, and why it’s so often misunderstood or overlooked. Whether you're looking to understand your own experience more deeply or support someone you care about, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and crucial insights.While abuse can exist in any dynamic—friendships, families, workplaces—this conversation focuses on male-perpetrated abuse against women, based on the real-life experiences of those seeking support from Women’s Aid.BEYOND SURVIVAL - The Therapy Podcast
