Trainings – Coercive Control Consulting, Inc.

Education is my #1 priority.

My #1 priority beyond supporting protective parents is EDUCATION. Education will prevent future generations from suffering intergenerational trauma. I have created programming for over 30 years on the topics of child abuse, trauma, & coercive control.

Most importantly, I am a Survivor and a Protective Mom.

Testimonials

What helped me the most is Dr. C's expertise on how children are affected in this type of very intense manipulation. She was the first to speak about forms of coercive control that are usually not recognized in Court. She goes beyond the conventional definitions of Coercive Control and it is only if those definitions get accepted and more mainstream that we will be able to do something for our children.

Dr. Cocchiola assured me that this wasn't my fault and that my reactions were normal. She guided me to understanding how I could be supportive of my children while they were going between my home and their dad's home - often coming home to my home very angry and acting out. I needed to understand my children's experiences and be better prepared to respond appropriately in order to make my home feel "safe" for them.

The Protective Parenting Program has transformed how our day-to-day lives work. From the moment we get up in the morning to when we go to bed at night has been influenced by the tools and strategies I learned from Dr. C. and thus the rhythm and feel in our home is lighter, more fun, more singing, and more dancing and it just keeps getting better and better. Initially, making these changes will make you feel more exhausted - it is an intentional use of yourself - as your child's protective parent. But eventually, once the ship is turned around, you get that time and energy back tenfold.

When I found Dr C. things changed. I finally found someone who could help me and help me understand how to help my children. Her understanding of these behaviors, her tools to help our children, plus access to people going through this too…..I truly can’t put a price tag on this program. I no longer feel alone, crazy, and helpless. If you are associated with a coercive controller I cannot recommend this program enough.

I knew the first time I heard Dr. C’s message that this is what I am living. Finally I had answers to my questions and understanding why none of the regular approaches to parenting would work in my situation. Finally I had someone who lived the pain I am living and also has knowledge and theory behind the knowledge. It clicked for me right away. I feel there is such a gap in the society and in the traditional therapy that kids and parents are getting.
