Coercive Control is a patterned way of relating—a course of conduct that traps someone in a web of inequality. It's not just about a few bad moments; it’s about a whole relationship that becomes unfair, unequal, and abusive.

​

There is a particular attitudinal and behavioural style that drives Coercive Control. The person using control behaves in ways that suggest they are superior, entitled, and adversarial—not just some of the time, but consistently.

This style shows up in how they:

​

• relate to you

• relate to others about you

• behave in front of you

• behave behind your back

 

There are many different styles and patterns of Coercive Control, and it’s helpful to recognise these variations so we can understand the tactics and hidden agendas used by different types of coercive controllers.
