Hello Friends & Foes,
As I learn ever more about the psychological make up of emotional abusers, and that of their targets, I wish ardently that we had some way of putting abusers of this type on a registry of some sort. Sadly, or happily for them, we cannot; unlike with sexual or physical abusers who once convicted will have their names put on lists, there is no such way for emotional abusers' current and future victims to learn who they are dealing with. But we CAN protect ourselves. The single most thorough form of protection against emotional abusers is to heal the wound in yourself that makes you a target for this type of abuser. Study, learn, read, watch... everything you can on this topic. One simple place to start is to google "Co-Dependence" and investigate the ways in which you participate in allowing abuse into your life. As so many working in this new arena of awareness regarding this type of abuser tell us, the key to remaining safe is to realize that it takes TWO for the abuse to happen - the abuser, and YOU. You cannot change the abuser (sadly, even the abuser cannot change themselves, as their psychological wound does not allow for it), but you CAN become self aware and change yourself. Learning to TRUST YOUR INNER KNOWING is the KEY TO SAFETY. There is an enormous amount of information becoming available on this topic. One youtuber I find very articulate on the subject is Richard Gannon. You can check out his channel here: Richard Gannon Youtube Enjoy Richard's many videos on awareness of and healing from emotional abuse. Stay well, be respectful of each other (wear a mask!) and find ways to enjoy the little things.
