Coercive Control

“Coercive Control” by Evan Stark
What do we experience as providers: compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, headaches, sleeplessness, agitation, nightmares, hopelessness, and anger? This affects our ability to connect with people, put up barriers to those we are trying to help.
Questions:
1. What happened to her/him?
2. What are the barriers to follow through with treatment?
The retreat was nice, although I remain separated from the group as usual. It was interesting to meet people who work in this field. My presentations were uninteresting I think. I did get food responses from the second one overall. But I remained tense about the whole thing overall even after a couple of days.
