When Narcissistic Abuse and Coercive Control Turn Dangerous
Episode 85
Sunday, 7 September, 2025
Trigger warning: Abuse doesn’t always start with obvious violence — it often begins with intimidation, manipulation, and control. The slammed fist into the wall beside your head, a plate hurled that just misses, your car blocked in so you can’t leave, or the threat of suicide if you try to walk away. These are deliberate tactics designed to dominate, silence, and keep you trapped in fear.(For 1 on 1 online counselling in your own toxic relationship/narcissistic abuse recovery please visit my website athttps://brighteroutlookcounselling.com.au/online-counselling-services/ )Many victims minimise these behaviours, telling themselves “at least they didn’t hit me.” But coercive control is abuse, and when it escalates, the danger becomes very real. This episode is validating, emotional, and at times confronting. It sheds light on the insidious ways narcissists create dominance and control through fear — and what it feels like to live under that constant threat.
