Trauma and abuse recovery coaching with coach Kensie Story. @coachingwithkensie

If you say no and they say “oh come on, I know you really want to”… If you say not tonight and they say “what, you don’t think I’m attractive anymore?”… If you say I’m too tired and they huff, pout, cross their arms, and stare at the TV in silence… This is NOT normal. This is NOT ok. It’s manipulative and it is abuse. No means no and it should be respected, honored, and never punished. #coercionisnotconsent #healthyrelationshipgoals #healthyrelationships101 #difficultrelationships #toxicrelationshipsurvivor #toxicmarriage #marriagestruggles #healthymarriages #safelove #healthylovecoach #datingafterdivorce #datingover30 #datingover40 #datingafterabuse #emotionalabuseisabuse #coercivecontrol #coercivecontrolsurvivor 04/23/2025

“But do they understand what they’re doing?” Clients ask me this all the time concerning their abusive partner. But in order for something to be abusive, it does not have to be intentional. So regardless if they understand or not, if it is a pattern of harm, it’s abuse. I talk a lot more about this in my book.

If you are in a relationship where you feel like giving in is easier than saying no because of the way they react to your no, that is coercion. That is harmful. That is not normal or ok. You deserve better, birds. 🤍🐦‍⬛ DM me if you want to talk to someone who gets it. #toxicrelationshiprecovery #healthyintimacy #healthyrelationshipgoals #healthyrelationships💓 #unhealthyrelationship #unhealthymarriage #toxicmarriage #trueloveisreal #howtofindtrueloveandhappiness #datingcoaching #relationshipcoachforwomen #relationshipcoachformen #redflagsinrelationships #coercivecontrol #emotionalabuseawareness #covertnarcissisticabuse 04/23/2025
