Unmasking Coercive Control: The Hidden Abuse

Welcome to another episode of our podcast, hosted by Kyla Holley, an experienced eating disorder and bariatric therapist. In today's episode, we delve into the serious and often overlooked subject of coercive control, a form of domestic violence that many fail to recognise. We explore various tactics used by perpetrators, such as intimidation, emotional abuse, isolation, economic control, and manipulation through children. Kyla also sheds light on how these behaviors can impact one's relationship with food, from controlling grocery budgets to dictating food choices and exercise routines. If you or someone you know might be experiencing coercive control, it's crucial to seek help. Kyla provides a list of referral services for immediate assistance. Remember, recognising and addressing coercive control is a vital step toward reclaiming your life and well-being.
