Coercive control
It can be difficult to identify coercive control when you’re in a relationship. Love bombing, wanting to keep you all to themselves and jealousy about your interactions with others can all be signs of controlling behaviour.
If you’re female and experiencing domestic abuse, whether physical, verbal or coercive control, the National Domestic Abuse Helpline, run by Refuge, provides help and support to help you understand your situation and to leave if you need support with that. https://www.nationaldahelpline.org.uk
Men can be victims of coercive control. If you’re finding that your partner is trying to isolate you, belittle you, or monitors your whereabouts or friendships, you might want to consider whether you’re a victim of coercive control.
