Core to Coercive Control
is a high level
of Conversational Control
Coercive Control is when a person targets their partner with a system of strategies and tactics to gain and maintain control.
Coercive Control is a particular pattern of relating and a course of conduct that traps you into inequality. An attitudinal and behavioural style makes the whole relationship unfair, unequal, and abusive. There are many different Coercive Control styles, and it is useful to know these styles to understand the different techniques and agendas of Coercive Controllers.
​
An important driver of Coercive Control is a multi-layered attitudinal style. A Coercive Controller treats their target with a superior, entitled, and adversarial attitudinal style. This style is visible in;
​
-
How they relate to you
-
How they relate to others about you
-
How they behave towards you
-
How they behave behind your back
