018: From Coercive Control to Crisis with Dr. Cocchiola

In this episode of Voices Against Filicide, host Hope Hooton speaks with Dr. Cocchiola, a licensed psychologist specializing in high-risk mental health cases involving trauma and complex family systems.

They discuss warning signs of coercive control, the dangers of untreated or poorly managed mental illness, and common misconceptions surrounding personality disorders. The conversation explores love bombing, Domestic Violence Restraining Orders (DVROs), and how abusive dynamics can escalate and increase filicide risk.

Dr. Cocchiola also shares insights from her professional journey and TEDx talk on trauma, emphasizing the importance of proper assessment, early intervention, and greater accountability from professionals, communities, and policymakers to protect children.
