Coercive control doesn’t always leave bruises – but its impact can be devastating.

UNE School of Psychology Honours student Julia Parkin is investigating how coercive control traps women in psychologically captive relationships, and how understanding “trauma-coerced attachment” could lead to earlier identification, better support and safer pathways out.

“Coercive control is a chronic pattern of behaviour, where the abuser subtly uses privileged knowledge to degrade, deprive, isolate, intimidate, manipulate and entrap their partner in order to maintain dominance.” – Julia Parkin
​
Her research aims to:
▪️shine a light on the hidden patterns of coercive control
▪️challenge “why didn’t she leave?” narratives
▪️help future psychologists recognise and respond to these dynamics sooner

👩‍💻 Have you experienced coercive control in a past relationship with a man? Julia is inviting women to take part in a confidential online survey to support this important research:
