Debrief | Respect, Coercive Control, and Escalation in Courtney’s Story

In this follow-up episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, we take a closer look at Courtney’s story and the way control can hide inside the language of respect, protection, and family. We explore the escalation that followed motherhood, intimidation, sexual coercion, post-separation abuse, and the way fear, obligation, guilt, and shame kept her trapped longer than she understood at the time.
