True Power Uplifts; Narcissists Abuse It
Framing the Narrative is a Manipulation Tool Luckily, my DNA shows that I'm less susceptible to framing. I agree, as I tend to see through manipulative people and have taken big risks calling them out. Whenever I do, I've usually been portrayed as the alleged abuser, especially by those determined to win at any cost, and lack morals. I don't know how common this trait is , to question someone's motives and/or not accept what could be manipulative harmful behavior. I tend to spot dishonesty and dislike dealing with dishonest people, such as those who deliberately lie, deceive, manipulate, troll, etc. They do things under the guise of something else, and their agenda is one-sided. Such people shut down any diverse discourse that differs from the narrative and operates in a way that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, to prove they are right. It's like karma  and they attract what they give out, which is toxicity.

When Trauma Bonds Keep You Stuck: Becoming Unstuck
The Complexity of Trauma Bonds Trauma bonds are complex, manifesting in ways that aren’t always understood. I discuss the polyvagal nervous system and how trauma bonds affect us physiologically, and psychologically. I describe the seven stages of trauma bonds in toxic and abusive relationships, and how to break free from them, healing ourselves and our inner child.
