S2 E24: This week on the DL: What is Coercive Control?
​
This week the team is bringing you a heavy, but incredibly important, episode: Coercive Control with Behavioural Scientist, expert Trish Guise.
Trish arms listeners with what red flags we should be looking out for early in relationships, as well as how this type of abuse can present both in your marriage and in your divorce.
Amanda and Alex ask the hard hitting questions on everyone's mind: how does this type of abuse affect the kids?
Red Flags, No Justice: How The System Fails Survivors
​
What starts as control often ends in tragedy—and too often, the system looks the other way until it’s too late. In this powerful episode, advocate and expert Trish Guise joins me to break down the deadly reality of coercive control and why early warning signs must be taken seriously. We discuss how the legal system continues to fail survivors, the Homicide Timeline abusers tend to follow, and the escalating patterns that lead to femicide. This conversation is a wake-up call: coercive control isn’t “just emotional abuse”—it’s often the first step on a lethal path. If you’re a survivor, supporter, or someone who wants to understand the life-or-death stakes of abuse, get ready for a chilling conversation.
