Not all abuse leaves bruises.
Sometimes, the most damaging forms of control are carried out in silence.

In this episode of Hang In There, we uncover the deeply painful and often overlooked reality of coercive control—a form of abuse that operates through manipulation, isolation, fear, and unspoken rules. You’ll hear how survivors are left questioning their reality, their worth, and even their sanity—all without a single punch being thrown.

No Words Needed explores:

• What coercive control actually looks like
• Why it’s so hard to explain—and so easy to miss
• The emotional and psychological toll it takes
• Why this invisible abuse must be named, understood, and recognized by law

Whether you're a survivor, supporter, or someone seeking answers—you deserve clarity, validation, and hope.

You are not imagining it.
You are not to blame.
And you are not alone.
