Before I tell you about The Protective Parenting Program,
let's talk about who it's for...
You are a Protective Parent who may be experiencing your own trauma from interacting with the coercive controller [abuser]. You are trying to cope while also trying to support your child who has experienced coercive control.
Perhaps you are able to manage your own reactions but your child is acting out their traumatic reactions. Or perhaps you are easily triggered by your child's behavior. In either case, how can you help your child? What can you do to guide them towards feeling safer with you. [They are safer with you but may not recognize this].
YOU CAN BE A COERCIVE CONTROL TRAUMA-INFORMED
PROTECTIVE PARENT!
Maybe this is you right now...
As a Clinician, I've seen this over and over again. It's so painful and difficult to navigate parenting a child who has been coercively controlled.
As a an Educator, I understand how nuanced this information can be and will walk you through the process of feeling empowered so that you can be exactly what your child needs right now and into the future.
As a Researcher on this topic, I know the experiences of adult and child victims and can support you as you navigate these overwhelming, sad, and difficult stormy waters.
As a Protective Mom - I understand what you are feeling and the betrayal, loss, and grief that accompanies this abuse. I see you and I hear you.
No matter if you are...
a protective parent just escaping a coercive controller [abuser] and trying to manage your own experiences and the experiences of your child...
a protective parent who has been living away from the coercive controller [abuser] and managing the best you can but looking for guidance on how to support your child and the experiences of your children as siblings...
a protective parent who needs strategies to sort out your own trauma and to support your child's healing from their traumatic experiences...
You're in the right place.
The Protective Parenting Program
will give you the trauma-informed support along with educational tools & the supportive community to become an empowered mama (YOU!) who is able to clearly demonstrate to your child that YOU are their safe haven.
YOU will show your child a Path to Freedom.
By the end of this program, participants will:
BEGIN TO PROCESS YOUR TRAUMA & MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOUR CHILD'S TRAUMA
BEGIN TO PROCESS THE LOSSES YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED & YOUR CHILD HAS EXPERIENCED
BECOME AN EMPOWERED PROTECTIVE PARENT BY BECOMING MORE TRAUMA RESPONSIVE
BECOME MORE CONSISTENTLY PERCEIVED AS THE SAFE PARENT YOU ARE
ROLE MODEL CALM AND LEND YOUR CHILD CALM
BECOME MORE ATTUNED WITH YOUR CHILD & REIGNITE A DEEPER ATTACHMENT
But above all else...
The Protective Parenting Program
will support your moving forward towards the life you and your child deserve ~ Safety, Agency, & Resiliency.
Protective Moms are amazingly strong, doing the hardest work that there is.
You are not alone & YOU are your child's saving grace.
The first time I heard of Christine was during an IG live. Christine read the letter "Compliance is Often an Act of Survival." It was if she wrote this letter for me - it is MY story! I was paralyzed with emotion (sadness, grief, compassion for me and my children) - for the first time I realized I wasn't going crazy.
My children have all been used as proxies to coercively control me thoughout my 20 year marriage, and even more so post separation (Post Separation Abuse).
I had no idea the damage that was being done to me and my children - it was overt and covert and methodical and slow. Even though I'm an educated, success ful and financially independent woman - I didn't see it. Instead, I stayed and worked harder.
I'm so blessed to be able to work with Christine...her guidance and compassion (and sometimes "hard" messages) has allowed me to find compassion for myself and the strength to counter the coercive control via psychological harm he (my ex) continues to inflict on my children.
The advocacy and educational work Christine is doing WILL save lives and change the world. Her message is empowering women to gain compassion for themselves and the strength to stop the coercive control and subsequent psychological abuse.

What People Are Saying...
"Christine assured me that this wasn't my fault and that my reactions were normal. She guided me to understanding how I could be supportive of my children while they were going between my home and their dad's home - often coming home to my home very angry and acting out. I needed to understand my children's experiences and be better prepared to respond appropriately in order to make my home feel "safe" for them."
D from NJ
"This program has transformed how our day-to-day lives work. From the moment we get up in the morning to when we go to bed at night has been influenced by the tools and strategies I learned from Dr. C. and thus the rhythm and feel in our home is lighter, more fun, more singing, and more dancing and it just keeps getting better and better. Initially, making these changes will make you feel more exhausted - it is an intentional use of yourself - as your child's protective parent. But eventually, once the ship is turned around, you get that time and energy back tenfold.

This program has helped me move forward on my healing journey. I wish I could have had this program years before actually. Through this program, I’ve been able to better understand my relationship with my daughter and have gained a new perspective moving forward. Prior to this program, I hadn’t really found the support I needed in addressing her extreme behavior toward me. I think what had been missing for me was understanding the effect of trauma on young children and understanding the ongoing effect of coercive control on the child. I feel that Dr. Cocchiola really understood my specific situation and gave me really valuable insights and strategies that I’m continuing to use.

The Protective Parenting Program
For moms like you who want to work through your trauma & support your children in working through their trauma.
PROCESSING & VALIDATING
OUR TRAUMA & OUR CHILD'S TRAUMA
Module 1, 2, & 3
Module 1
Your Experiences, Your Trauma
In Module 1 we unpack the experiences of protective parents as victims of the coercive controller and this supports their enhanced understanding of their trauma & their traumatic reactions.
Module 2
Loss & Grief
In Module 2 we address the loss and grief for protective parents as the foundation for understanding their trauma and their triggers. Being "seen" gives the opportunity to grieve the losses and supports protective parents in their being more attuned to understand their own and their child's experiences of loss.
Module 3
Triggers & Reactions
In Module 3 we begin to make sense of the triggers protective parents have, which supports their ability to create solutions for managing (& minimizing) those traumatic reactions. REDUCING the traumatic reactions, supports protective parents in role modeling and guiding their child's ability to REDUCE their own traumatic reactions.
ELEVATING YOU - THE PROTECTIVE PARENT
Module 4 & 5
Module 4
Responsive Strategies
In Module 4 we gather up the tools to put in our Trauma-Informed Toobox that will help to guide the interactions protective parents have with their child while alleviating the significant anxiety and reactiveness in the family system.
Module 5
Consistency & Boundaries
Module 5 highlights the importance of consistency
and boundaries for a child who has felt off balance for a very long time. Their need for consistent boundaries, surrounded in calm, is a basic need that our child needs, and that protective parents must fulfill.
HEALING BEGINS FOR OUR CHILD & FOR US
Module 6, 7, & 8
Module 6
Enhancing a Feeling of Safety for Your Child
Module 6 is when protective parents create an enhanced
trusting [safe] environment by using strategies that support protective parents in their resolve as the safe parent. These children need to see their protective parent stronger than even the protective parent believes they are!
Module 7
Attunement
Module 7 is when protective parents become more adept
and more confident at implementing their new skills in response to their child's emotional dysregulation.
Module 8
Agency and Enhancing Resiliency
Module 8 protective parents begin to enhance resiliency in their child and begin to consistently utilize their agency as an individual and as a [protective] parent. This supports their child in recognizing their own agency and leads towards mutual healing.
Working on Modules in the order they are given is recommended since the program builds upon itself.
This is your time -
your opportunity to build on your strengths.
Our children may perceive us as weak and therefore they do not see us as Safe...
We need to show them a path to Safety - a path towards us - a reignited and strengthened attachment and Freedom from the Coercive Controller.
