About the Course

The Relationship Clarity Mapping program is a self-paced educational program comprised of 8 modules based on the Relational Coercion Mapping framework developed by Clinical Psychologist and former police officer, Dee Donaldson, bringing together: sound psychological theory on human behaviour contemporary research on intimate partner abuse from Dee’s over 20 years of practice working with women in and recovering from harmful relationships, and her own lived-experience as a woman who has also experienced coercive control. Relationship Clarity Mapping brings that framework directly to you; structured, rigorous, and self-paced, so you can work through it in your own time, on your own terms. This isn't a coaching program. It's not a support group. It's not therapy repackaged as education. It's a practical method to identify and track coercive control designed for women who want clear, honest understanding of what's happening, and the capacity to reach their own informed conclusions. Relationship Clarity Mapping doesn't start by asking you whether your relationship is abusive. It maps what's actually happening: the patterns, what triggers them, what they're designed to produce, and how harm builds through repeated exposure to the patterns over time. That shift in focus from labelling to understanding is what builds your skills to map harmful relationship patterns in your current or future relationships.

About WiseWOMAN Studio

WiseWOMAN Studio is an independent educational platform focused on understanding how harm is produced, normalised, and sustained within relationships, institutions, and culture; and how women reclaim autonomy through clarity and critical understanding. The purpose of WiseWOMAN Studio is to to offer language, frameworks, and resources that support women to identify coercive and abusive dynamics that, when not identifiable, lead to significant psychological, emotional, financial, or physical harm. WiseWOMAN Studio was founded by Donna-Marie Donaldson (Dee), a Clinical Psychologist, writer, educator, and researcher whose work examines harm, power, voice, and agency across a lifetime. Dee’s perspective is informed by decades of work inside systems tasked with care, control, and protection; including policing, justice, and clinical psychology, as well as by her own lived experience. This background provides a practical, evidence-based lens on how harmful and controlling relational and institutional dynamics form, how they shape women’s identities and perceptions, and why confusion, self-blame, and moral injury are predictable outcomes rather than personal failings. The work published through WiseWOMAN Studio is educational, not therapeutic. It is designed to increase understanding, not ‘treat’; to restore context, not offer strategies to ‘fix’; and to support women’s innate ability for independent thought. Bringing together her clinical research background, therapeutic work with women experiencing harmful relationships, and training as a police officer, Dee has developed a non-pathologising and trauma-informed model for understanding, educating, and mitigating coercive control in relationship contexts: the evidence-informed Relationship Clarity Mapping Framework™
