Episode Details

Taking back your power starts with naming what’s happening to you.  Today I'll be talking about a range of topics.   
 
Emotional abuse is an insidious form of mistreatment that often leaves deep emotional scars on its victims. 

Emotional abuse encompasses a range of behaviors that seek to exert control, manipulate, and degrade individuals, leaving them feeling diminished and powerless. It is characterized by constant criticism, belittlement, gaslighting, intimidation, and isolation.

Emotional abuse is domestic violence and sitting back and allowing someone to be emotionally abused is abuse in itself.  Stand up for what is right even if you stand alone & even if your voice shakes.
 
Flying monkey’s are the henchmen of narcissists.  They are the people who carry out the work of a narcissist or an abusive person.  The term ‘Flying Monkey’s ‘ also sounds more harmless than the phenomenon is.  

Let’s consider a narcissistic parent who manipulates her children to carry out a smear campaign or abuse against someone in the family ecosystem. Children are a very easy target to employ as flying monkey’s.  They are easy to manipulate and generally they are people pleasers so they will do anything to get the praise and attention of the narcissistic parent.  

What to do.  Self-preservation!  Disengage and be done with it.  No one deserves to be bullied and harassed.
