Abuse isn’t always physical - and it’s often hidden in plain sight. In this episode of The Power of Partnership Podcast , author and therapist Jennifer Parker exposes how coercive control operates as a patterned, domination-based abuse that erodes rights, freedom, and self-worth. Drawing on her book Coercive Relationships and decades of work with survivors, Jennifer explains the cultural roots of controlling behavior and the four core beliefs that sustain it. She also shares how partnership values - listening, empathy, and shared power - can help survivors reclaim agency and create healthier relationships, offering a path toward personal and societal healing. This episode is Part 1 of a 2 Part series on Coercive Control. Part 2 uncovers the role that coercive control plays in our family court system with Kate Amber, founder of End Coercive Control USA.
