Boundary Dynamics
Our research reveals severe and long-lasting psychological consequences for those subjected to such behaviors. Consistent boundary violations often characterize coercive control, a pattern designed to exploit and dominate. Victims frequently experience heightened stress, anxiety, depression, and a strong link to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD. Their self-esteem and self-worth erode, leading to feelings of worthlessness and shame. This systematic undermining fosters learned helplessness, making independent decisions incredibly difficult. Emotional trauma, persistent fear, and hypervigilance are common. Abusers often isolate victims, cutting them off from support, exacerbating loneliness. Chronic stress can also manifest physically, with issues like insomnia and high blood pressure.
