Trauma doesn’t make you stronger. It wreaks havoc on your nervous system. It hijacks your digestive track. It keeps you stuck in a loop of hyper vigilance. To suggest someone is stronger because of it is to dismiss what they’ve had to do to survive.

Coercive Control has been described as torture (Melzer, 2019), a human rights violation (Libal, 2009), a liberty crime (Stark, 2007), a form of slavery (Hill, 2019); so why do courts treat it like it’s just a toxic relationship that took two to tango.

France is coming close to criminalization of Coercive Control.
I have been honoured to have been invited to present as a coercive control expert at two French events in recent months as part of this process.

Check out my latest Decoding Coercive Control blog 'Post-Separation Abuse and the Devastation It Causes'.
Leaving an abuser does not automatically = safety. Societies & communities need to find ways to effectively intervene to actually stop the abuser.

April is child abuse awareness month. What survivors hear:
"You're stronger now because of the abuse."
"I bet your abusers were abused too."
"Now you can help others who were abused."
What they need to hear:
"That was not supposed to happen. Are you ok?"

Being a cycle breaker is realizing you're not getting an apology for the hurt done to you, & instead of passing on that hurt, you heal it. It's giving voice to the parts of you who have been forced into silence. It's no longer apologizing for your desire to be set free.

A cycle breaker is one who grew up without any example of the life they wanted or needed, and fought like hell to build that life later.
Dr. Eve Lamargot retweeted
Never underestimate a cycle breaker. Not only did they face years of generational trauma, but they stood in the face of that trauma and said “This ends with me.” This is brave. This is powerful. This comes at a significant cost. Never underestimate a cycle breaker.

The current family law system isn’t designed to protect children — often favouring parental rights over the rights of the child, putting them at risk of violence.
Much needed change is on the horizon.

The overabundance of PhDs among Marvel characters really highlights the length academics will go to avoid writing.

Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow.

I highly recommend the Pomodoro method: 25 minutes of work followed by a 5 week break.

If you don’t think our society can afford to respond rapidly to the climate & ecological emergency remember we spend $1,800,000,000,000 every year subsidizing industries which are rendering our planet uninhabitable.

En vrai c'est le temps idéal pour une raclette. Tu mets le fromage au soleil sur du métal. Il fond. Tu manges. Zéro consommation d'énergie.
On appellerait ça une caniclette.
