I finally have answers

I randomly came across Dr. Cocchiola on LinkedIn and one of her posts about coercive control stopped me cold. I am 40 years old and for the first time have answers to everything that didn’t make sense to me. I just listened to my first episode and it brought me to tears. It’s as if she was speaking directly to me about my childhood.

I wish I’d found this sooner!

I was introduced to Dr. C and her team just two weeks ago while in the midst of deep trauma caused by yet another instance of falling for a coercive controller (groomer). I thought I’d learned my lesson over a year ago, but I keep falling for the same tricks. My vulnerability makes me an easy target for men, therapists, and anyone else who needs to have their egos stroked. I am the Perfect Prey, for sure, but it’s time for me to stop allowing the predation. I am so grateful to have come across CCCI and this podcast. Christine and her team are a godsend. I have signed up for the Protective Parenting Training and am eager to learn all I can from these wise and wonderful women. Dr. C is giving me hope when I felt hopeless. She is offering a community when I felt abandoned. She is giving me a reason to keep learning and growing. Healing and peace seem possible once again. Thank you!

Excellent!

I absolutely love this podcast! I listen to it myself as a survivor of narcissistic abuse, and recommend it to my clients as a therapist. So much wisdom and guidance are found in these episodes!

Incredibly Eye Opening

Every woman should inform themselves about coercive control, know the signs, and listen to this podcast to keep your head on straight. Dr. C is informative, knowledgeable, and a powerhouse for women looking to break free and protect their kids!
