EDUCATE. EMPOWER. BREAK THE CYCLE.
Some control is hard to put into words.
Recognize It helps you put words to what's been happening — one pattern at a time, at your own pace.
It's not okay. And it's not your fault.

Why Recognize It?
Because you can't change what you can't name. The wheel gives words to patterns that are hard to describe, so you can recognize them in your own life or in someone else's. That's our mission: Educate. Empower. Break the Cycle.
Educate
Learn the patterns of coercive control on the wheel, in plain words.
Empower
Trust what you know. See the thoughts many women have had, and another way to see each one.
Break the Cycle
Name it early, in your own life or someone else's, and find people who can help.
You're not overreacting.
It's not just jealousy.
