"I work with Psychopaths"- This is What They Tell Me About How They Target Women | Aishia Grevenberg PT 1

Published 5 days, 13 hours ago
Description

If you've ever second-guessed yourself around a charming dude, felt your boundaries melting as soon as someone smiles just right, or wondered “how do I spot manipulators and protect myself?”—this is the episode you NEED. I sat down with Aishia Grevenberg, a phenomenal therapist, survivor and absolute badass, to peel back the curtain on narcissists, psychopaths, manipulators, and all the ways they scan for vulnerability and test your boundaries.


Aishia dives DEEP into life lessons from working with men in prisons, recognizing warning signs from the first interaction, and what she learned from surviving her own abusive relationship. We tackle the real science behind manipulation, why simply “being yourself” is actually your superpower, and why emotional responses are every abuser’s favorite tool. All the secrets these guys DON’T want you to know? She gives it to you raw, from the inside. If you want to understand predators, feel secure in your space, and finally stop second-guessing your gut, part one gives you everything you need.
