Power & Control Wheel
![]() This was a graphic that I was given in handout form when I arrived at the shelter. Not only was it revealing... it proved validating. Many things that the abused woman endures fits under a few "categories" at once. All are detrimental to her physical and emotional wellbeing. Physical and sexual abuse tie everything in a tight little bundle. This is the power and control wheel. It is a simplistic visual representation of what life was like at home for me... and what life is like for countless other women. If you or someone you know is being abused, it is serious. Don't wait as long as I did to get help. Things only deteriorate further. They do not improve. |
