About the presenter:

Dianne Simboro is a Recovery Coach, Behavioural Profiler and Hypnotherapist. After more than two decades of lived experience of family violence and then ten years of professional experience, she established Family Violence Mindset Solutions to teach women how to release the layers of trauma and conditioning in the survivor’s mindset.

Before her abusive marriage Dianne travelled around Australia and through many countries overseas on a working holiday which lasted over ten years. There were a number of traumatic and life-threatening experiences, after which she says she had to pioneer her own path of recovery because there was no-one who could provide her with the necessary support at that time. “Through my own experience I found out what worked for me and now I share that with others.”

Join Di as she presents a 3-part webinar series on Coercive Control:

1. The who, what, how and why of coercive control.

Monday 14th October, 12pm - 1pm AEDT

This webinar will explain who uses coercive control, how the effective and subtle strategies give the abuser control, what indicators you need to look for and why any woman can become a target. We will focus on the benefit-driven mindset of the abuser and the impact of his actions on his chosen victim. The goal is to arm listeners with the knowledge they need to avoid becoming a serial abuser’s next victim.

2. Why women go back and why perpetrators won’t change.

Monday 21st October, 12pm - 1pm AEDT

Very little is understood about why victim-survivors will remain within an abusive relationship, or why they will often return to their abuser - “Why doesn’t she just leave?". Less is understood about why coercive controllers perpetrate abuse and why they are resistant to change. This webinar will answer those questions and provide listeners with the necessary knowledge and understanding so that wise (rather than emotional) decisions can be made about whether to stay or leave.

3. Navigating the four stages of recovery after abuse.

Monday 28th October 12pm - 1pm AEDT

Victim-survivor’s problems do not end with separation from their abuser. They have to deal with their own naiveté when navigating a dysfunctional legal system, ongoing financial abuse from their ex, managing visitation challenges, all while trying to establish stability and security for their children, without falling prey to the charisma and charm of other abusers. This webinar provides an overview of what is involved in each of the four stages of recovery after abuse.
