Court reporting and captioning professionals hold a front-row seat to the most sensitive and harrowing cases in the justice system. To accurately capture the record, practitioners must understand the complex realities behind the testimonies they transcribe. This webinar dives deep into the behavioral, psychological, and systemic cycles of domestic violence. Attendees will look beyond the surface of physical abuse to examine the calculated tactics of coercive control, isolation, and financial manipulation that trap victims within the cycle.
The session will analyze the long-term trauma experienced by survivors and explain how this trauma directly alters their communication style, memory recall, and behavior on the witness stand. Finally, because documenting these intense narratives takes a heavy emotional toll, the presentation addresses the critical need for self-preservation. Participants will gain practical insights into the mechanics of abuse, tools to decipher trauma-influenced testimony, and strategies to guard against vicarious trauma.
