The Subtle Power of Toxic Relationships - Training Video

Why can it be so difficult to leave abusive relationships and situations - and how can we better understand and support clients who feel trapped or unable to move forward?

This approximately 2-hour instant-access online training explores the complex reasons people may remain in abusive or toxic relationships and situations, looking beyond the question of “Why don’t they just leave?”

We consider coercive control and physical, sexual, emotional, psychological and spiritual abuse, exploring some of the dynamics that can make recognising abuse, making choices and leaving a relationship so difficult.

The training also looks at how we can work sensitively, exploring ways of supporting clients without judgement or oversimplifying their experiences.
