"Many survivors say the first time they saw the Power and Control Wheel, their experience finally had a name—and a pattern. It lays out common tactics abusers use (like isolation, intimidation, emotional abuse, and controlling money), showing that harm isn’t only physical.
This guide also shares how different versions of the Wheel have been created for different communities and situations, helping more people recognize what’s happening and realize they’re not alone.
What’s one sign you wish more people understood can be part of abuse? Comment below or share this with someone who might need it."
