Mediators too. I went through mediation with someone who I told all about the abuse, and she had no clue and didn't care.

Dr. Jes Taylor does an amazing work regarding this. She is anti pathology for victims of abuse

Just graduated. No, we did not learn about DV. I had to bring it up when I suspected coercive control in my classmates client. How do we get at the very least the power and control wheel taught in grad schools?!

I begged my husband to do therapy with me. Then I had individual therapy and the therapist must have know because she opened my eyes and told me never to do therapy with him

This is where I work as a counselor. I’m trying to raise awareness and education. Navigating that has been difficult with counselors, but most do get it.

My daughter’s therapist didn’t even know what it was. They had never heard of it. Unforgivable.

This is absolutely needed!! As a psychologist I have begun creating a free workbook for this. I have a dozen workbooks for clients and when Tik tok will let me add links I’ll have them available for everyone and they will always be free.

I go to therapy and group therapy through my domestic violence center and they are educated in coercive control and I’m so grateful for that since I am trying to heal from that but also learning to parallel parent and setting strict boundaries.

I am so lucky that my therapist recognized it 30 years ago! She fired us as a couple and I called her after and saw her for 15 years alone. She saved me in many ways

While this term was not ever mentioned by my marriage counselor, she once asked for individual sessions with each of us. During that session she leaned in, looked me in the eye and said: Sometimes, the final outcome of marriage counseling is not reconciliation and that is ok. I feel like I really needed to hear it from someone who had a glimpse into our marriage dynamic. She was a therapist at my ex’s church and I was worried that she would keep pushing to save the marriage because of the religious reasons. She proved to be professional no matter the context in which she practiced.

I recognize it and my therapist does too. I am also a therapist and we are both victims of DV in our past. I agree with you but I highly recommend going to a therapist who specializes in PTSD and DV if you can.

I’ve been disrespected a few times after leaving that situation. I’m really hoping I can find someone who listens and understands.
