  • Growing in confidence

    Thank you Lyn & Laura for putting out this podcast. I’ve been devastated at having to leave my home due to police inaction and continual acceptance of the illegal activities and behaviour by my husband. One thing I will say is in leaving my home due to safety reasons, the police became accepting of my husband revoking my access to personal belongings. I have nothing and he gets everything.

  • Comforting Advice That Feels Like Family

    Laura and Lyn’s voices are so comforting — almost like the sister and mother I never had. I really like the way they give advice; it feels like it’s coming from family, with care and honesty.

    I’ve recently separated, and even though the podcast seems mainly aimed at a female audience, I still find it incredibly comforting and educational almost like medicine for the heart and mind. It would be great to hear some posts or episodes for a male audience too, as I’m sure many men going through simil... more

  • Better than Valium

    Lyn and Laura keep me company during the quiet hours when my worries go into overdrive and send me spiralling with worst case scenarios.

    This mother daughter duo never fails to soothe the soul with their calm, sensible and erudite guidance through this minefield.

  • One hundred ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Like most here, “if we’d only found you earlier”. Your candour, your empathy, your knowledge gives all of us hope. As I continue to be stalked - post-court & post-separation, I am at a complete standstill of fear. Knowing now that one day I can resume the (god forbid!) court process, gives me hope. Which is the only thing that keeps us going. Admire the two of you to bits x

  • Epic resource!

    I have been binge listening to this podcast for about 18 months. Some episodes I have even listened to multiple times! I was in an abusive relationship and thanks to this valuable resource, I have been able to end my relationship and take steps to make life a lot better for myself and my children. Listening to Laura & Lyn is like having a chat with trusted family members. I am blown away by how useful the information is and have been recommending this podcast to all of my friends who are facing ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Coercive Control and Your Kids: How to Protect Your Children From a Coercively Controlling Co-Parent
Q: What role do teens play in this context and how should a court view teen input?
Teens' views are relevant; they may align with the nurturing parent or resist coercive dynamics, and courts typically consider their lived experience, autonomy, and safety rather than forcing alienation narratives.
Coercive Control and Your Kids: How to Protect Your Children From a Coercively Controlling Co-Parent
Q: How should a parent address misinformation or manipulation when talking to children about what's happening?
Correct misinformation calmly and briefly, avoid naming the other parent in detail, frame discussions around what is happening in your home, and provide simple, stable explanations like differences between homes and why certain rules apply.
Coercive Control and Your Kids: How to Protect Your Children From a Coercively Controlling Co-Parent
Q: What is the most important thing a protective parent can do to buffer children from coercive control at home?
Create a home environment that openly acknowledges and validates feelings, establishes predictable routines, supports autonomy, models empathy, and provides stable support systems so children have a consistent counterbalance to the other parent's coercive strategies.
Coercive Control vs a Bad Relationship: How to Tell the Difference
Q: How can someone tell the difference between a reasonable level of care or boundary-setting and coercive control?
If actions consistently remove autonomy, restrict choices, and lead to fear or dependence with negative consequences for non-compliance, it leans toward coercive control.
Coercive Control vs a Bad Relationship: How to Tell the Difference
Q: Can coercive control occur without financial abuse, or with the main breadwinner as the target?
Yes, coercive control can occur in any configuration; financial control often features, but the core is the global pattern of controlling decisions and autonomy regardless of who earns the money.
