In his new book “The Art of Coercion,” Watson political scientist Reid Pauly provides a seemingly straightforward definition of coercion: “The practice of convincing a target by the use of threats, to bend to your will.”However, the simplicity of the definition belies the difficulty of doing it effectively – especially in the world of international security and relations. As Pauly explains to Dan Richards on this episode of “Trending Globally”:“The history of coercive bargaining, coercive diplomacy is really a litany of mostly failures.” This is a problem not only for countries seeking to coerce others, whether it's through tariffs, sanctions, or threats of military action. It's also a problem because when coercion fails, countries usually find themselves one step closer to war. Why do so many attempts at coercive diplomacy fail, and why do some succeed? The answer may surprise you. Learn more about and purchase “The Art of Coercion”Read Pauly's July article in MIT's International Security Transcript coming soon to our website.

It's Wednesday, August 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Muslim Nigerians killed 7,000 Christians this year A Nigerian-based nonprofit reports Islamic extremists have killed over 7,000 Christians in the country so far this year. The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law also found that nearly 8,000 Christians were violently seized and abducted. The report notes this translates into “an average of 30 Christian deaths per day and more than one per hour.” Since 2009, Jihadists in Nigeria have killed over 125,000 Christians and destroyed nearly 20,000 church buildings. Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Nigeria. The country is ranked seventh on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian. Psalm 14:4 asks, “Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?” Absurd charges dropped against Scottish pro-life grandmother Authorities in Scotland dropped charges against a 75-year-old grandmother who was arrested for holding a sign near an abortion mill. Back in February, Rose Docherty held a sign that read: “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” Officials arrested her for violating a “buffer zone” law that restricts free expression near abortion mills. Docherty reacted to her case being dropped. She said, “This is a victory not just for me, but for everyone in Scotland who believes we should be free to hold a peaceful conversation.” Conservative Canadian Pierre Poilievre wins election In Canada, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre (pronounced PAH-lee-ev) won a special election in the province of Alberta on Monday. Poilievre heads back to Canada's parliament after losing his seat earlier this year. He will continue his work as the opposition leader against Canada's ruling Liberal Party. Listen to comments from Poilievre. POILIEVRE: “We will work together. We will fight together. We will sacrifice together to restore the opportunity that our grandparents left for us, so that we can leave it for our grandchildren, so that we can once again restore a country that is strong, self-reliant and sovereign. That is why we stay united. That is why we go forward. May God keep our land glorious and free.” Trump wants to end mail-in ballots In the United States, President Donald Trump said Monday that he wants to end mail-in ballots as well as voting machines. Listen to comments from Trump. TRUMP: “You can never have a real democracy with mail in ballots. We, as a Republican Party, are going to do everything possible that we get rid of mail-in ballots. We're going to start with an executive order, that's being written right now by the best lawyers in the country, to end mail-in ballots because they're corrupt.” Trump wrote on Truth Social, “With their HORRIBLE Radical Left policies, like Open Borders, Men Playing in Women's Sports, Transgender and ‘WOKE' for everyone, and so much more, Democrats are virtually Unelectable without using this completely disproven Mail-In SCAM.” Bank of America will stop "debanking" conservatives The New York Post reports that Bank of America scrapped a rule used to “debank” conservatives. Major banks have also used the rule to deny services to religious groups, especially Evangelical ones. JP Morgan Chase dropped the rule last year. Bank of America finally followed suit. Jeremy Tedesco with Alliance Defending Freedom said, “Over the past two years, ADF and our partners in both the private and public sectors have repeatedly engaged with Bank of America's leadership to advocate for this change.” Fewer Americans are moving The Wall Street Journal reports that U.S. domestic migration rates are down. Only 7.9% of Americans relocated to a new town or city last year, down from about 20% in the 1950s and 60s. The rate has been steadily declining since then. People are also moving less within their own county. That rate is down 47% over the past three decades. The falling domestic migration rates are associated with high mortgage rates, dual-income households, an aging population, and remote job opportunities. Church-engaged Christians have less stress, anxiety, and loneliness And finally, the American Bible Society released the fifth chapter of its State of Bible: USA 2025 report. The chapter measured church engagement as the level of a person's involvement in the life, mission, and community of a local church. Only 34% of self-identified Christians attend church weekly. In terms of generations, Gen Z had the lowest levels of church engagement. Women, married people, Evangelicals, and people in small cities were more likely to be highly engaged with their church. John Plake with the American Bible Society said, “Our survey shows that church-engaged Christians have significantly less stress, less anxiety, less loneliness, and more hope.” Hebrews 10:24-25 says, “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, August 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Strong states are surprisingly bad at coercion. History shows they prevail only a third of the time. Dr. Pauly argues that coercion often fails because targets fear punishment even if they comply. In this "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario, targets have little reason to obey. The Art of Coercion: Credible Threats and the Assurance Dilemma (Cornell UP, 2025) by Dr. Reid B. C. Pauly presents a fresh explanation for the success—and failure—of coercive demands in international politics. Dr. Pauly illustrates this logic in nuclear counterproliferation efforts with South Africa, Iraq, Libya, and Iran. He shows that coercers face an "assurance dilemma": When threats are more credible, assurances not to punish are less so. But without credible assurances, targets may defy threats, bracing for seemingly inevitable punishment. For coercion to work, as such, coercers must not only make targets believe that they will be punished if they do not comply, but also that they will not be if they do. Packed with insights for any foreign policy challenge involving coercive strategies, The Art of Coercion crucially corrects assumptions that tougher threats alone achieve results. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The July episode of Crosspoint served as Part 1 of a conversation with LTC Lee Robinson, USA, director of the U.S. Military Academy's American Politics Program and an academy professor in the Department of Social Sciences. We began answering this overarching question—"What does it look like to follow Christ in uniform, when your faith is personal, your authority is public, and the Constitution sets the boundaries?” In Part 2 we continue this timely discussion on how Christian military leaders can live out their faith with integrity, while respecting the pluralism of today's armed forces. Lee emphasizes that faith in leadership must never take the form of pressure or compulsion. Drawing from both Scripture and military experience, he outlines the importance of being a faithful witness without overstepping the boundaries of official authority. When senior leaders bring faith into their roles, the question isn't “Can I?” but “Should I?”—and wisdom is key to navigating that tension. A central focus of this conversation is the principle of religious liberty for all, not just Christians. Lee speaks to the importance of defending others' rights, even when you disagree with their beliefs because a free society depends on reciprocal freedom. Lastly, Lee offers both encouragement and challenge to Christian leaders: You won't get this balance perfect. But grace, humility, and a deep dependence on God are essential as you try to be salt and light in a diverse military environment. This episode does a pretty good job of standing on its own, but we do encourage you to go back and listen to part 1 to get the full context of the conversation. Key points from the conversation Coercion and leadership don't mix. Your influence as a Christian officer must be grounded in love and respect, not pressure. Religious liberty is for everyone. Defending others' freedoms strengthens your own witness and integrity. Wisdom matters. Just because something is legally allowed doesn't always mean it's wise or helpful in a given leadership context. Mistakes will happen. What matters most is how you respond—with humility, grace, and a willingness to grow. Questions to ponder How can you create a culture in your unit where spiritual questions and discussions are welcome but never forced? Are there moments where your leadership presence might unintentionally signal pressure around faith? What does it look like to advocate for religious freedom in a way that honors others' beliefs? How do you respond when you realize you didn't strike the right balance between faith and official duty? What role does humility play in spiritual leadership?
How do we define liberty? Hayek saw it as the absence of most (but not all) coercion, but that depends upon how one defines “coercion.” Murray Rothbard believed that Hayek was too willing to accept forms of coercion that were anti-freedom.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/meaning-coercion-hayekian-philosophy

We go inside the the enormity, complication, and notoriety of the BEZOS PRE-NUP AGREEMENT with divorce attorney, MARILYN CHINITZ of BLANK ROME. https://youtu.be/nMMp6He056Y https://open.spotify.com/episode/39KMPMRhwGfYbdZVMJHEan?si=36c5c8a927bf4a6f Outline of the ISSUES INSIDE the BEZOS PRE-NUP General Concepts What happens without a pre-nup? Process for disclosing assets Previous marriages and those pre/post-nups? Community vs Equitable Distribution (Does the Pre-Nup contract this away?) Separate property Outside trusts? Estate Planning? Pre-nup vs ultra high net worth pre-nup Financial Considerations (and Complication) Non-Financial- NDA, media activity, scope of negotiations, data and tech issues Let's go through the General Fact Pattern High Profile Asymmetric Net Worths Kids? Which state is used for choice of law? Portability? How do you make sure this has teeth? (Coercion penalties) Spousal support / alimony? Escalator or sunset clauses? Disqualifying or "infidelity" or "weight gain" clauses? What happens if children? Other constituencies - charities, businesses, political causes etc Integration with estate documents, life insurance, other vehicles Is there a check-in every five years? What else can we learn from what is inside the Bezos Pre-Nup? Transcript Frazer Rice (00:02.07) - Inside the Bezos Pre-Nup Welcome aboard, Marilyn. Marilyn Chinitz (00:04.088) Thank you, really nice to be here and nice to talk to you about what's inside the Bezos Pre-Nup. Frazer Rice (00:07.541) We sort of regaled ourselves with a mutual friend and we're already, I feel like we're already related. That's right. So we're going to talk a little bit about probably one of the highest profile marriages in the world that just happened with the Bezos Sanchez union and get inside the Bezos pre-Nup. But for just for a little bit here, let's talk about what happens in a sort of family law divorce setting. Marilyn Chinitz (00:13.39) Your best and glorious buddies are ready. Frazer Rice (00:35.232) With general concepts because we're going to be diving into some specifics with the case study here. What happens when something goes wrong and we have a divorce that happens without a prenup? Marilyn Chinitz (00:46.734) So it depends what state you're in. If you're in a state like New York, then we have equitable distribution laws. If you're in a state like community property in California, then those laws are very different. So if you have no prenup, and a lot of people don't because they start their marriage with very little assets, and everything that you acquired during your marriage is now subject to a division. Frazer Rice (00:49.569) Of course. Marilyn Chinitz (01:15.918) And what happens is you start to trace the assets and you look at, what do I have? You look at homes that you purchase, real estate that you purchase, stocks, securities that you purchased. It doesn't matter in whose name the asset is held. It's a marital asset if it was acquired during the marriage and it was not gifted or inherited. If you come into the marriage with assets and you have no prenuptial agreement and you keep those separate property assets clean, and I'll explain what that means. When they go up in value because you actively caused their appreciation, they may be subject to a marital claim, the appreciation aspect. If you… have an asset that went up in value because of passive reasons and you kept that asset separate, it will remain separate property. So let's talk about an example. If I owned a building before I got married and that building was worth five million dollars and then I get married and years later I get divorced, that building is now worth twenty million dollars. It appreciated by 15 million. Did it appreciate because of market fluctuation, because the market went up, real estate did better?
Bryan Kohberger—the man who killed four University of Idaho students in 2022—is expected to be sentenced to four consecutive life terms. He was arrested six weeks after the killings and charged with four counts of first-degree murder. Kohberger pleaded guilty earlier this month and faces the victims' families at his sentencing hearing on Wednesday.The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is holding a hearing on Wednesday to discuss strategies for countering the CCP's economic coercion against democracies around the world. Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and former U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel are set to testify.
Text a Message to the ShowToday we're talking to Dan Nash from the Human Trafficking Training Center and he's going to talk about the difficult encounters officers have with prostitutes who are controlled by traffickers and how they can be helped. In fact, right off the bat Dan is going to lay out the paradox that many trafficking victims find themselves in: they didn't willingly get into this life of prostitution… but they may not willingly leave it either. How does a cop navigate that? Dan Nash has answers and you're going to want to learn more.Resources:HumanTraffickingTrainingCenter.comMusic is by Wes HutchinsonHey Chaplain Podcast Episode 118Tags:Police, Abuse, Cartels, Coercion, Drugs, Education, Human Trafficking, Illicit Massage Businesses, Narcotics, Organized Crime, Prostitution, PTSD, Sex Workers, State Trooper, Stockholm Syndrome, Training, Trauma Bonding, Vice, Ozarks, Missouri, UtahSupport the showThanks for Listening!

Emerging from an award-winning article in International Security, China's Gambit examines when, why, and how China attempts to coerce states over perceived threats to its national security. Since 1990, China has used coercion for territorial disputes and issues related to Taiwan and Tibet, yet China is curiously selective in the timing, target, and tools of coercion. This book offers a new and generalizable cost-balancing theory to explain states' coercion decisions. It demonstrates that China does not coerce frequently and uses military coercion less when it becomes stronger, resorting primarily to non-militarized tools. Leveraging rich empirical evidence, including primary Chinese documents and interviews with Chinese and foreign officials, this book explains how contemporary rising powers translate their power into influence and offers a new framework for explaining states' coercion decisions in an era of economic interdependence, particularly how contemporary global economic interdependence affects rising powers' foreign security policies.

In this powerful episode of Shadow Work, WTF?, Caitlin sits down with SJ Chiovitti to unpack one of the most uncomfortable yet crucial conversations in the coaching industry: coercive control. With the recent introduction of coercive control laws in Australia, this conversation explores how these dynamics extend far beyond intimate relationships into coaching spaces, creating environments where clients slowly lose their autonomy and self-trust. SJ brings her background in psychology, behavioural finance, and trauma counselling to break down how seemingly supportive mentorship can become psychological captivity—and what we can all do differently.This episode is for you if:You've ever felt like you couldn't disagree with or question your coach without consequencesYou're a coach wondering if you're unconsciously creating codependent dynamics with clientsYou've noticed yourself adopting your mentor's language, style, or opinions without conscious choiceYou want to understand the difference between ethical influence and manipulation in coachingWhat we'll cover:How coercive control manifests in coaching spaces through subtle emotional manipulation and power imbalancesThe predictable progression from admiration to psychological dependence in mentoring relationshipsWhy spiritual and personal development language can be weaponised to avoid accountabilityPractical steps for coaches to create genuinely empowering, sovereignty-supporting containersKey Points and Timestamps:01:42:00 - Defining Coercive ControlSJ breaks down what coercive control actually means and how it removes true consent through psychological pressure disguised as care.09:42:00 - The Progression into High ControlHow coaching relationships start with admiration and gradually shift into psychological captivity through pedestalling and power imbalances.22:50:00 - Creating Ethical Coaching SpacesPractical guidance for coaches on how to maintain client sovereignty, ask before offering insight, and make repair normal rather than rare.43:15:00 - Building Capacity to Speak TruthSJ shares her journey of developing the nervous system capacity to call out harmful patterns while modelling better alternatives.1:04:04:00 - Red Flags and Next StepsClear warning signs to watch for and actionable steps for both coaches and clients to create or find healthier dynamics.Resources Mentioned:Follow SJ Chiovitti: @sj.chiovittiShadow Alchemy Certification: shadowalchemycoaching.comShadow Alchemy Coaching Academy: @shadowalchemycoachingacademyConnect with Us:This conversation challenges some deeply embedded norms in the coaching industry.

How do cyber vulnerabilities impact modern warfare and statecraft? Craig Booth argues that the effectiveness of coercion, which relies on both the power to impose costs and the credibility of the threat, is weakened by vulnerabilities in digital and networked weapon systems. He joins host Darrell Driver to discuss how if an adversary believes they can hack, jam, or hijack U.S. capabilities, the ability to project power and influence their behavior diminishes. Booth notes that cyber risk is not merely a technical problem but a strategic vulnerability, and cyber resilience must be treated as a fundamental pillar of modern deterrence before it erodes national leverage.
In this episode, we'll be talking about Cassie Ventura and trauma. Cassie is someone the world first met beside one of the most powerful names in music and business. From the outside, everything looked glamorous, even like something to aspire to. But what unfolded behind closed doors was something much darker. As Cassie bravely took the stand years later, now a mother and no longer silent, she revisited the pain she suffered and the years it took to reclaim her voice. We're going to go through her lawsuit from 2023, her testimony in May of 2025, what abuse really does to the brain, and why the question shouldn't be “Why didn't she leave?” but “What kept her from feeling like she could?”Connect with Paige:Instagram: instagram.com/reverietruecrime TikTok: tiktok.com/@paige.elmore Facebook: facebook.com/reverietruecrime Twitter/X: twitter.com/reveriecrimepod BlueSky: reverietruecrime.bsky.social Intro and Outro by Jahred Gomes: https://www.instagram.com/jahredgomes_officialSources:https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/diddy-cassie.pdfhttps://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1251&context=intuitionhttps://www.domesticshelters.org/articles/health/how-trauma-rewires-the-brainhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0091302216300139#s0005https://abcnews.go.com/US/live-updates/sean-diddy-combs-trial-live-updates/?id=121656142https://www.janiceklaw.com/blog/how-sexual-abuse-affects-the-brain/https://www.womenagainstabuse.org/education-resources/learn-about-abuse/types-of-domestic-violencehttps://psychcentral.com/health/effects-of-emotional-abuse#brain-impactshttps://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/why-bad-looks-good/202107/why-do-domestic-violence-victims-return-to-abusershttps://psychcentral.com/blog/liberation/2017/10/long-term-narcissistic-abuse-can-cause-brain-damage#4https://dana.org/article/the-abused-brain/https://www.businessinsider.com/sean-diddy-combs-trial-striking-revelations-to-know-2025-5https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/sean-diddy-combs-trial-cassie-ventura-lawyers-live-updates-rcna206807https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/cassie-ventura/index.htmlhttps://www.verywellmind.com/the-cycle-of-sexual-abuse-22460https://people.com/escort-hired-diddy-alleged-freak-offs-speaks-out-message-for-cassie-exclusive-11744158https://www.charliehealth.com/post/the-long-term-effects-of-narcissistic-abusehttps://deadline.com/2025/05/cassie-ventura-sean-diddy-combs-trial-1236395063/https://cptsdfoundation.org/2020/06/22/the-neuroscience-of-narcissism-and-narcissistic-abuse/https://www.npr.org/2025/05/13/nx-s1-5396851/diddy-trial-cassie-sean-combshttps://www.shorelinerecoverycenter.com/how-domestic-abuse-affects-the-brain/https://apnews.com/article/diddy-trial-sex-trafficking-cassie-testimony-69c7a6ad766103e39c4f7f35df841205https://www.verywellmind.com/effects-of-narcissistic-abuse-5208164https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/sean-diddy-combs-cassie-ventura-trial/https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05/13/arts/sean-combs-diddy-trial-cassiehttps://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/may/16/cassie-ventura-sean-diddy-combs-trialhttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj42nvrkgznohttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwy71k1pee5ohttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9931748/https://www.harborchc.org/blog/domestic-violence-and-the-impacts-on-your-physical-and-mental-health#:~:text=The%20two%20main%20changes%20to,for%20memory%20and%20regulating%20emotions.https://www.npr.org/2024/03/13/1238225255/domestic-violence-is-now-recognized-as-a-leading-cause-of-traumatic-brain-injuryhttps://biausa.org/public-affairs/media/domestic-violence-as-a-cause-of-tbihttps://www.allianceforhope.org/family-justice-center-alliance/news-archive/commentary-domestic-violence-how-trauma-impacts-the-brain-and-behaviorhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9931748/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reverie-true-crime--4442888/support.

Inside Diddy's Mind: FBI Expert Analyzes Power, Control & Coercion What drives a man with money, power, and global fame to allegedly operate a world built on domination and control? In this Hidden Killers premiere episode, we go deep inside the mind of Sean “Diddy” Combs, guided by retired FBI profiler Robin Dreeke. Dreeke dissects the federal trial through the lens of psychological coercion, power dynamics, and high-functioning manipulation. Why are allegations of surveillance, sexual exploitation, physical abuse, and retaliation consistent with a larger behavioral strategy? How do people like Combs maintain public adoration while privately engineering fear? From Cassie's harrowing testimony to the culture of silence surrounding his inner circle, Robin connects the dots between classic behavioral red flags and the real-time unraveling of what prosecutors call a "criminal enterprise." If you want to understand how power warps perception, distorts loyalty, and fosters psychological dominance — this is where it all starts. #diddycase #celebritycrime #powerandcontrol #robindreeke #fbianalysis #cassietestimony #truecrimepodcast #fbiinsider #diddybehavior #hiddenkillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In one of the most disturbing days yet in the federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, the court heard harrowing testimony from a former insider known only as “Mia.” For nearly a decade, she worked as Combs's personal assistant—but what she revealed on the witness stand painted a picture of alleged abuse, sexual violence, and total psychological domination. Mia testified that while employed by Combs from 2009 to 2017, she was subjected to coercive control, routine verbal and physical abuse, and multiple instances of sexual assault—including rape. She described being forbidden to lock doors, deprived of sleep for days at a time, and pressured into drug use. She alleged that Combs frequently threw objects at her in anger—phones, a computer, even a bowl of spaghetti—and once slammed a door repeatedly on her arm. Her account added disturbing new context to previous claims by other witnesses, including R&B singer Cassie Ventura. But the day didn't start with Mia—it began with Deonte Nash, a stylist and close friend of Cassie, who told the jury he personally witnessed Combs assault Cassie in 2013. The defense tried to discredit him on cross-examination, raising questions about his timing and relationship with Cassie. However, once Mia took the stand and described the exact same night—the same violent details, the same people present—his credibility was unexpectedly reinforced. This episode breaks down everything that happened in the courtroom on May 29, 2025. We explore the overlap in testimony, the strategy from both sides, and how these independent accounts might reshape the entire case. Was this the day the prosecution finally connected all the dots? #DiddyTrial #SeanCombs #CassieVentura #TrueCrimeDaily #CourtroomDrama #WitnessTestimony #FederalTrial #SexualAssaultTrial #DeonteNash #MiaTestimony

Laura Richards and co-host Lisa Bilyeu are joined by former CIA spy and intelligence expert Andrew Bustamante to unpack the complex web of evidence, abuse, and control unfolding in the Sean “Diddy” trial. Laura, Lisa and Andrew explore the charges against Combs including that Combs abused, threatened, and coerced women and others, and led a racketeering conspiracy that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice, in comparison with particular testimonies including Regina Ventura, Cassie's mother, Dawn Richard, Kerry Morgan, "The Punisher” and Kid Cudi. Laura highlights how abusers weaponise fear and power to maintain control, and how those in their orbit enable the abuse—whether through silence or active participation. Andrew brings a spy's lens to the case, analyzing Diddy's tactics through the eyes of a trained operative—making powerful connections between psychological warfare and public manipulation. This isn't just about Sean Combs and Cassie Ventura. It's bigger than that. It's about a systemic failure to protect women and girls—and what must change. Listen now. Share it widely.

Religion. Intimidation. Threatening. Coercion. Rules. Keeping people under their thumb. If that sounds like the church you go to – you may want to run. Religion kills. Jesus saves. And when we are saved, we CAN'T stop talking about Him!

What if you said yes — but didn't feel free to say no? In this powerful and necessary episode, we're confronting the hidden reality of sexual coercion and assault within marriage, especially when the partner is a covert narcissist. From guilt-laced manipulation to emotional punishment and silent withdrawal, we explore how control can show up quietly — and why consent isn't real if it's not freely given. You'll hear real-life examples, common tactics used to override your “no,” and clear steps to help you name the abuse and reclaim your voice. Whether sex was forced, guilted, or withheld to hurt you — your experience matters. Your “no” still matters. If you've ever asked, “Was that really assault?” — this episode is for you.
