Relationship Clarity Mapping™
Understand what’s actually happening. Then decide.
A self-paced online program for women in, or who have left, a relationship where something has felt persistently wrong, but has been difficult to name, explain, or act on.
Join the Waiting ListBuilt on 25 years of practice and original research
The Relationship Clarity Mapping™ Online Program is a self-paced educational program built on a structured conceptual framework for understanding what actually happens inside coercive and harmful intimate relationships: how those patterns work, what they are designed to produce, and why confusion, self-doubt, and ambivalence are predictable outcomes rather than personal failings.
Developed by clinical psychologist Dee Donaldson from 25 years of practice working with women in and recovering from harmful relationships, the Relationship Clarity Mapping™ framework draws on research in coercive control, self-determination theory, and behavioural science. The online program 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 an intellectual framework designed for women who want clear, honest understanding of what’s happening, and the capacity to reach their own informed conclusions.
A mechanism-based model, not a label-based one
The Relationship Clarity Mapping™ framework doesn’t start by asking 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 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.
Understanding the mechanism changes what you see, and what becomes possible.
This program is designed for women who want to understand. Not be managed.
You’re currently in the relationship
- You’re experiencing confusion, self-doubt, or persistent anxiety that feels linked to your relationship but is difficult to name
- You’ve tried to explain what’s happening to others (or to yourself) and found the language inadequate
- You want a private, structured framework for understanding what you’re experiencing, without having to seek professional support yet
- You want to understand what’s happening, not just be reassured that it’s hard
You’ve recently left
- You’ve left but find yourself still confused about what happened. The clarity you expected after leaving hasn’t arrived
- You’re experiencing cognitive dissonance: you know something was wrong, but you struggle to maintain that knowing consistently
- You want to understand the psychological mechanisms that explain why leaving is hard, why the pull back persists, and why self-doubt intensifies after separation
- You prefer a rigorous structured framework to a support-group model
You’re trying to name what’s happening
- Something in your relationship has felt consistently wrong, but you struggle to explain or justify that feeling, whether to others or to yourself
- Standard descriptions of abuse don’t quite fit what you’re living, or you’re not sure whether they apply to your situation
- You’ve minimised, explained away, or second-guessed your own experience, and you’re tired of doing that
- You want a clear, structured way to look at what’s actually happening, without someone else deciding what it means for you
You want depth, not reassurance
- You’ve already done the research, read the books, listened to the podcasts, and you want something more rigorous and structured
- You’re not looking for someone to tell you what to do or how to feel
- You want a framework that makes the confusion make sense, and build the capacity to reach your own informed conclusions
Not outcomes promised. Capacities developed.
The Relationship Clarity Mapping program is designed to build:
-
Pattern recognition grounded in mechanism, not label
The capacity to identify recurring behavioural sequences and understand the functional purpose those sequences serve: what they are optimised to produce, rather than relying on categorical labels that often fail to capture the granularity of lived experience.
-
Understanding of why confusion is structurally predictable
A working knowledge of the psychological processes (cognitive dissonance, intermittent reinforcement, trauma bonding, and autonomy erosion) that make confusion, self-doubt, and ambivalence the expected outcomes of these dynamics, not signs of weakness or poor judgement.
-
Ability to map impact across multiple domains
Understanding how specific behavioural patterns connect to specific harm outcomes: psychological, emotional, relational, social, economic, and physical, and how those impacts accumulate through repeated exposure rather than single incidents.
-
A framework for informed decision-making
Not a directive. Not a prescription. A structured method for moving from confusion toward clarity that preserves, and actively supports, your autonomy in reaching your own conclusions about your relationship and your situation.
-
Conceptual language that is precise and non-pathologising
Language and conceptual tools grounded in the Power Threat Meaning Framework and self-determination theory, positioning your responses as contextually rational rather than symptomatic. This changes how you understand yourself, not just the relationship.
