About this episode

In part one of my series on coercive control, I discuss the signs of a coercive or controlling relationship, specifically the ways controlling partners attempt to isolate you from the world.

If you or someone you know may be in this type of relationship, please seek help. You can go to thehotline.org if you aren’t worried that your internet usage is being monitored, and if it is, you can dial 1-800-799-7233 for the National Domestic Violence Helpline. 

Savvy Psychologist is hosted by Dr. Monica Johnson. A transcript is available at Simplecast.
