This training provides a clinical framework for mental health professionals working with children exposed to domestic violence and coercive control. Grounded in the Duluth Model and Mark Nickerson’s Breaking the Cycle framework, the course moves beyond basic crisis intervention to explore the chronic disruption of relationship connection. Participants will learn to identify survival fight energy and understand how a child’s response to threat leads to adaptive behaviors such as hypervigilance, withdrawal, and appeasement. The curriculum emphasizes the therapist's role in establishing a foundation of safety and regulation before attempting trauma repair. Significant focus is placed on the ethical and legal complexities of domestic violence cases, including court-safe documentation, the limits of clinical roles in custody disputes, and practical, age-appropriate safety planning and identifying high risk environments.
