How Abusers Control You Without You Realizing It! Dr. Christine Cocchiola | Ep. 131

What if the abuse you’re experiencing doesn’t leave bruises, but still destroys your peace, your identity, and even your relationship with your children?

In this powerful episode of A Healthy Point of View, Sam Tejada sits down with Dr. Christine Cocchiola, social worker, advocate, and expert on coercive control, to unpack the hidden dynamics of abusive relationships, narcissism, manipulation, and psychological warfare.

Drawing from both her professional expertise and deeply personal experience, Dr. Christine explains how abuse often begins subtly, how victims can lose autonomy without realizing it, and why children are so often weaponized in toxic family systems. She also breaks down the warning signs of coercive control, the long-term impact of trauma on the body and mind, and what survivors need to know to protect themselves, heal, and reclaim their freedom.

This is a raw, eye-opening conversation that could help someone recognize what they are living through before it is too late.
