The idea in everyday life
Compare respect, trust, honesty, equality, independence, support, accountability, control, isolation, pressure, and fear over time.
Judge repeated patterns and their impact, not only apologies, promises, labels, or isolated good moments.
One step at a time.
Use the sample or information you have permission to use. Keep your work as you go. You can pause between steps.
- 1
Describe what respect, trust, equality, privacy, independence, support, honesty, and shared decision-making look like in observable behavior.
- 2
Identify patterns of jealousy, monitoring, humiliation, isolation, threats, coercion, financial control, sexual pressure, stalking, or physical harm.
- 3
Notice how freely each person can say no, maintain other relationships, pursue goals, make choices, and seek help.
See how it works.
