#greenscreenvideo #greenscreen isolation is one of the most common abuse tactics, and it’s one of overt and covert abuse/coercive control. It’s so obvious once you see this stuff. #coercivecontrol #abuse

And we finally have a companion wheel to “avoidance abuse.” This wheel is about YOU, the person on the receiving end. What’s most important here is that these behaviors are SURVIVAL, they are an adaptation to the abuse you’re experiencing. This wheel inside the wheel addresses the issue of false equivalency, or the myth of a 50/50 dynamic in relationships with power imbalances. You didn’t create this, but you can heal. This image + the Avoidance Abuse guide is available for FREE on my website. Let me know your thoughts. #avoidanceabuse #selfabandonment #codependency

Spanking is not just physical abuse, but psychological abuse. It’s a form of “avoidance abuse,” a term I coined to describe what happens when parents hear better but don’t do better (more info + a free guide in my bio). I have applied the concept of infidelity as abuse, to show what parents do to kids. Here are my 10 steps to a secret “psychological” basement as an adaptation Dr. Omar Minwalla’s “10 steps to a secret sexual basement.” FREE GUIDE COMING SOON. #cheatingisabuse #spanking #abuse #domesticviolenceawareness

Is it happening to you? It’s less of what he IS doing and more of what he ISN’T doing. Thousands of you have gotten the free guide over the past couple of days without even a viral video… that tells me that this need is humongous beyond even what we can tell so far. Help me spread the word of avoidance abuse- and yes we will be educating and training clinicians on this so it changes not only in your consciousness, but in the system as well. #avoidanceabuse

Replying to @jiggykano #greenscreen It’s not dismissive avoidant attachment, it’s “avoidance abuse.” I coined this term and model after hearing thousands of women’s stories and no clinical model to address their relational struggles. Adapted from Dr. Omar Minwalla’s “10 steps to a secret sexual basement,” chronic avoidance finally gets named as abuse, because it is based in covert power and control. If you identify with this, go to my website to get a FREE 25 page guide to help you. #avoidanceabuse
