Ep 325: Coercive Control: A Child’s Unthinkable Journey with David Challen, Part 2

In part 2 David speaks candidly about his experience, excavating the patterns he now recognises, the behaviours that were normalised at the time, and the lasting effect of living with a coercively controlling father. Together, Laura and David examine the subtle and often missed warning signs, the insidious nature of coercive control, why recognising these patterns in law is critical to prevention, protection and saving lives and how men can be part of the solution in changing this behaviour. David also recently joined Laura for a Crime Analyst Squad exclusive live event. David dives deeper into his experiences, sharing a photo which depicts what life was like living with his father, and more information about his mother’s murder trial.
