I was a psychology student at UofO between 2004 and 2006. I don’t remember Patterson but it’s entirely possible I had him as a professor…

The idea of coercive control reminds me of my husband and his mom. He felt conditionally loved by her as a child, he grew up with high anxiety and to this day the relationship is strained. No surprise there.

Interesting stuff!! Thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge with us ☺️
