What Attendees Say About
The Quicksand Model® of Coercive Control...

" I left my husband 18 months ago and have read constantly about coercive control. But going through the study helped me the most. Everything is set out clearly. It broadened my understanding of all the issues; most of all it released me from a lot of the guilty feelings I have had , such as how could I stay so long (18 years), how could I let him talk me out of acting on my beliefs, and most of all how could I let him isolate me from my children. Our divorce trial will be in the next few months. I am so very grateful for the new clarity I have and strength I feel. "

" The Quicksand Model™ is a brilliant educational tool that not only explains what victims of coercive control experience, but also how they are unsupported by the judicial system.I felt seen, and I felt like this was exactly what was needed to educate those systems in coercive control so that it would be more easily recognized. The Quicksand Model™ is a brilliant tool, and I hope that in the future it will be a requirement for every police officer, judge, family relations counselor, and family law attorney. "
