AI for Trauma Awareness: Dr. Turner on Using Technology to Detect Coercive Control

Grace is joined in today's episode by Dr. Lisa Turner — a survivor, an award-winning coach and founder of CET Freedom. Her work sits at the cutting edge of trauma awareness, where artificial intelligence meets lived experience. Having survived trafficking and grooming as a teenager, Dr. Turner has transformed her journey into a mission: to make the invisible visible.

Through precision-built AI tools, she is helping uncover the subtle, often overlooked patterns of coercive control within relationships — patterns that can be difficult to name, yet deeply significant.

` Quotes

  • “AI can hold far more variables in view at once, making it easier to identify patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed.” — Dr. Turner
  • “Rather than relying on generic chatbots, my work focuses on structured models that reflect what truly happens within and between human minds.” — Dr. Turner
  • “Carefully designed AI systems can support deeper awareness and meaningful change — turning insight into action.” — Dr. Turner

Key Takeaways

AI Reveals the Invisible

  1. Artificial intelligence can identify subtle relational and behavioral patterns that are often missed by the human eye, especially in cases of coercive control.

Structured Intelligence Over Generic Tools

  1. Dr. Turner’s work goes beyond standard AI chatbots by using structured psychological and behavioural models that reflect real human dynamics.

Clarity Through Complexity

  1. Her AI systems are designed to hold multiple variables at once, offering deeper insight and faster decision-making clarity.

Lived Experience as Innovation

  1. Her personal journey through trauma informs the authenticity, depth, and effectiveness of her work.

A New Frontier in Personal Development

  1. CET Freedom’s AI tools are reshaping coaching, leadership, and personal growth by integrating trauma awareness with advanced technology.

Journal Prompts

  1. Reflect on a relationship where something felt “off” but was difficult to explain. What patterns do you now recognize in hindsight?
  2. How could technology — particularly AI — support your personal growth, healing, or decision-making process?
  3. Write about a moment when increased awareness (through insight, support, or tools) helped you reclaim your power.
