Coercive control is a form of high-control relational abuse that operates subtly, hiding in plain sight within families, romantic relationships, friendships, and institutions such as religions, cults, extremist groups, workplaces, and even governments.
At its core, coercive control is an antisocial and destructive way of subjugating and exploiting others, born from unequal power dynamics and unequal access to resources.
It is upheld and concealed by power imbalances and societal structures that normalize control, dominance, and manipulation.
These invisible dynamics create conditions where exploitation flourishes in plain sight, leaving survivors questioning not only their reality but also their very sense of agency.

"LO has a way of helping sift through my confusion with such care.
Her insights allowed me see patterns I couldn’t name before.
LO, ever so gently, helped me make sense what perviously had felt
impossible to untangle."
