I have a free safety planning guide for you
Create your plan in under 10 minutes
The need for dominance and control can extend beyond the home. It can look like:
- Isolation (limiting your freedom, ignoring and isolating you, making everyday life feel unpredictable and even dangerous.)
- Violence (punishing you by hitting, kicking, punching, taking things that belong to you.)
- Control (intimidation, limiting your access to friends, family, and money, monitoring your whereabouts, who you speak to, and using threats and intimidation that cause you to feel afraid.)
If you are living in this kind of situation, please know that you are not alone; help and support are available.
These acts are rooted in the need for power and control. This behavior is not about love or passion. It is aboutcontrol, and it is NOT YOUR FAULT.
