The Power of Partnership

Undoing Coercive Control with Kate Amber


Listen Later

Coercive control often hides in plain sight—and our systems can unknowingly help it persist. In this episode of The Power of Partnership Podcast, Kate Amber, founder of End Coercive Control USA, shares how her “Quicksand Model” helps survivors, professionals, and communities recognize, prevent, and respond to this patterned abuse—especially in family courts. Drawing on her own lived experience and Riane Eisler’s partnership framework, Kate shows how shifting from domination-based systems to partnership-based ones can protect victims, hold abusers accountable, and create safer families and communities. This episode is Part 2 of a 2 part series on Coercive Control. Part 1 covers the cultural roots of coercive control with author, survivor and therapist, Jennifer Parker.
