Understanding Coercive Control

A trauma-informed framework for recognising the hidden dynamics of coercive control in the perinatal period and beyond.

Bringing visibility to the invisible

Coercive control often remains hidden, minimised, misunderstood, or missed entirely.


The Coercive Control Entrapment Timeline (CCET) offers a clear, structured way to understand how control develops, escalates, and entraps women - especially during the vulnerable perinatal period.

Built from research, clinical practice, and lived experiences, the CCET supports professionals to recognise patterns that traditional models often fail to capture.
