What is Coercive Control?

Updated: Oct 24

What is Coercive Control? Coercive control is the pattern of behavior or actions used by a perpetrator to frighten, threaten, oppress, and limit their victim. A perpetrator will work to isolate and intimidate their partner to the point where their partner’s isolation from others and dependence on them gives them an immense feeling of power and control.


Some signs of Coercive control include:


  • Stalking / monitoring your activities

  • Name-calling and putting you down

  • Gaslighting

  • Legal Abuse and limiting your access to money

  • Making jealous accusations

  • Isolating you from your support system

  • Denying access to children

  • Physical Violence
