What is Coercive Control?

I really wanted to step back and bring you something light—a bit of a breather. Instead, God met me on the beach in the middle of a building storm. In a healthy marriage, biblical principles like patience and forgiveness are beautiful. But sustained coercive control is not a healthy marriage. Coercive control isn't defined by what another person does; it is revealed by what prolonged exposure slowly does to your mind, your body, and your nervous system. If you are living in a constant state of hypervigilance, it’s time to stop arguing with the weather and pay attention to the storm.
