If anyone deserves tomorrow, Katie Taylor does. It’s just gonna be the best fight ever. Will she win? Of course she will. This is our Katie Taylor. Big hugs to you all.

CONSENT MEANS RESPECTING ANOTHER PERSONS “NO”.
When we hear the word consent, we tend to think about sexual consent. But consent goes way deeper than that. Consent means that others have a right to say no to you without you trying to manipulate their mind.

No means no! You do not have the right to get your way simply because you want something. You do not have the right to force, pressure, manipulate or control another person into doing what makes your life more comfortable.

Every person has the right to think for themselves, make their own choices, disagree with you, go their own way, and do life their own way.

If you need to manipulate, intimidate, pressure or relentlessly push someone until they surrender and do what you want, or what you say, or what you think, that isn’t consent. Those are tactics of control. The tactics of a bully. An abuser.

Respecting another person’s NO is the most basic principle of consent.

Sometimes we don’t get what we want. Sometimes people disagree with us. Sometimes they choose a path we would never choose. That is life. You don’t have to like it. But you definitely have to accept it.

You are not entitled to another person’s compliance simply because their choice inconveniences, disappoints, annoys, or hurts you. Respect their NO. Respect their autonomy. People have a right to critically think.

Step away from anyone who tries to confuse your thinking.

Mentally well people evaluate themselves. Mentally unwell people evaluate others. 💜

This podcast is absolutely phenomenal, and you were 100% right to release these episodes quickly.

By Episode 18, this was no longer about a documentary or a “plot twist”. This is going on for decades. This is about people. This is about public safety.

I have raised concerns about this repeatedly to the team at since the documentary was released, particularly around platforming this person, and how is presented to the public on websites and in newspaper articles etc, but to no avail. My concerns were not once even responded to. I also know that these were not only my concerns.

As someone who has dedicated my adult life to psychotherapy and psychology, I find this deeply troubling.

I was NEVER comfortable with: “Don’t ruin the plot twist.”

No. There is no plot twist worth protecting when real people may be at risk.

This is not entertainment. This is not a game. Public safety must come first. Every. Single. Time.

- keep asking the difficult questions and giving those who have come forward a voice. That is the very least they deserve. And I thank you for the very difficult work you are doing. As an investigative journalist, and from what I see of your work, I can see that these are also your concerns. And I thank you deeply for doing the right thing. It cannot have been easy.

To anyone reading this, listen to this podcast, https://podcast.app/the-storyteller-narcissists-playbook-p854138/?utm_source=ios&utm_medium=share, and please, share, share, share. The public needs to be protected.

3 TRAITS OF THE NARCISSIST THAT WE CANNOT IGNORE 💜
Apathy is the opposite of empathy. It is the inability to consider the emotional state of another. Be concerned if you see this trait in someone. It could be a symptom of an undiagnosed mental health disorder. People who are well don’t behave with apathy toward others.

The mask drops when the narcissist isn’t getting what they want. They feel entitled to get what they want and hard done by and victimized if for whatever reason you are unable/unwilling to give it to them.

Life happens. Situations change. But to someone with narcissistic behaviors they will feel offended and victimized and will go on the attack if you withhold anything from them.

They view a “no” through a grandiose lens. How dare you say no to them. Do you not know who they are? In their world, consequences and accountability does not apply to them.

A lack of empathy, entitlement, and grandiosity - 3 very alarming traits. They are the traits of a narcissist.

You don’t see these traits in someone at the early stages of a relationship. It’s when you can’t give them what they expect/demand to be given that you’ll start to see the traits appear. My only advice when you see these traits is - RUN!

RUN as fast as you can. Do not look backwards. No contact is your safety net.

You’re not stupid for not seeing this, you were conned. You believed you were interacting with a mentally well human.

Therapy supports us if you have suffered narcissistic abuse. The scars are internal. You need to be heard and seen and valued again for the wonderful soul that you are. 💜

SEPTEMBER IS RECOVERY MONTH 💜
It provides an opportunity for everyone to celebrate their accomplishments through recovery. It increases awareness and provides a greater understanding of addictive patterns. If you’ve chosen a sober life, don’t let your accomplishments go uncelebrated. It takes bravery to live a sober life. In sobriety, we get to face every demon we’re trying to avoid.

It can be a month where you challenge yourself to look at your own addictive patterns. It’s amazing what will come to the surface when we remove mood altering substances. The excuses we make to justify - “but I work hard”, I’m only having a couple, I’m just meeting up with my pals, what harm am I doing, it’s the weekend, I’m having fun”, the list is endless. “I don’t have a problem” - well if you don’t, then stop for the month of September and sit with what it feels like not to have that crutch? What might you be avoiding through using that substance?

Need support with addiction? Don’t struggle alone. Recovery is very difficult to do alone. Trying to deal with everything alone is what got us in that difficulty in the first place. Reach out. You’re not alone. 💜

HAPPY FRIDAY - I wish you a weekend ahead where you allow nothing, or nobody, to steal your inner peace. Have a great one 💜

If any relationship involves psychological games, manipulation, coercive control, confusion, mind games, etc, perhaps it’s time to stop playing.

You have permission to leave the game anytime you choose.

You do not have to defend, justify, or endlessly explain yourself to someone who is committed to misunderstanding you.

Your boundaries do not require anyones approval.

It’s hard to find yourself again after abuse. But you can do it. One purposeful move at a time. The first good move we can make is making a choice not to play anymore.

Then get support. Allow yourself to hear your own story out loud. Something very healing happens in that space. It really is good to talk it through.

Therapy never involves judgement. There is not one person who can afford to judge another. And your therapist is no different. Don’t carry it alone. Healing happens in unashamed conversations. 💜
