5 types of Narcissists you need to know

There are five types of narcissism that come up again and again: grandiose, covert, antagonistic, communal, and malignant. In this clip each one gets named plainly. The grandiose type carries an inflated sense of self importance. The covert type is fragile and highly sensitive to criticism. The antagonistic type belittles and exploits others for personal gain. The communal type builds an inflated self view around being liked and being seen as helpful. The malignant type is described here as aggressively malicious and without much conscience or empathy. Worth knowing before you keep watching: these subtypes are widely used in popular psychology, but they are not formal DSM-5 diagnostic categories. They are a vocabulary, not a diagnosis. If any of this is landing close to home, a licensed therapist is the right place to take it.

The hardest thing about protecting children is that the danger almost never looks dangerous.
It looks like the coach everyone loves. The relative who always volunteers to babysit. The person who gives your child gifts, keeps secrets with them, and finds ways to be alone with them.
And sometimes, the danger is lying right next to you in your own bed. Because some parents perpetrate too.

Three things that actually protect kids:
1. Teach them how to speak up when someone touches them in a way that makes them uncomfortable - NO matter who that person is.the real names for their body parts.
2. Teach them that no adult ever needs them to keep a secret from a parent and that includes the other parent.
3. Believe them the first time, even when believing them will cost you the family peace.

What is one thing you wish an adult had done differently to protect you? I want to hear it.

The Actual Reason Behind Pe******ia

There is a story people tell themselves about which families this happens in. Uneducated ones. Addicted ones. Someone else's. In this clip I talk about why that picture is wrong, and what it costs survivors when they do not fit it. If you grew up in a home that looked fine from the outside, this is for you. Child s*xual abuse recovery, family trauma, and why recognition comes before healing.
Save this if it helps, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

I want to share something that took me decades to understand.
Fighting back is not only what happens in the moment. It also happens years later when you finally say the words out loud. It continues to happen as you learn to love yourself and reclaim your joy.
What does fighting back look like for you? There is no wrong answer in here.

Child s*xual abuse prevention starts with knowing where harm actually happens, and it is usually not where we are looking.
Research consistently finds that the overwhelming majority of children who are harmed are harmed by someone they and their family already know.
That is uncomfortable, and it is also the reason prevention has to include the people already inside the circle of trust.
Save this if it named something for you, and share it with a parent or caregiver who needs to hear it.

I finally fought back my abusive father
Being told something never happened, by the person who did it, is its own injury. Denial is not just a lie about the past, it is an attack on your ability to trust your own memory. If you were disbelieved for years, that was real and it left a mark.

Most child s*xual assault does not happen to strangers in the dark. It happens in living rooms, at sleepovers, in homes where everyone said "he would never."
I want to ask you something gently, and you never have to answer publicly: when you were a child, was there a person in your family or your parents' circle that your body did not trust, even before your mind understood why?
You can reply here, or you can message me privately. I read every single one myself. 💛

Why denial hurts survivors most

If you were told you were crazy for naming what happened to you, you were not crazy. Denial is a documented tactic, not a memory problem on your end. This short covers why being disbelieved compounds s*xual abuse trauma and what recovery looks like from here.

Should you forgive your abuser for your own healing?

Accountability and forgiveness are not the same thing. Veronica opens a conversation about where the two might meet in recovery, drawn from years of her own therapy and healing. Save this if you are working through it yourself.

You have probably been told you need to forgive in order to heal. And sometimes that is true. Other times not so much. It’s important that you don’t rush to forgive.😶
I know because I tried to forgive my dad years before I should have. It didn’t work. It was not healthy. I needed to feel my rage first. I needed to grieve on a very deep level. And then after years of therapy, forgiveness arrived naturally as part of my healing

I made a reel 🎥 about a different way to think about forgiveness, one that includes accountability and boundaries instead of asking you to walk past what happened and call it peace.
If you have been carrying pressure to forgive before you were ready, you can say so out loud in The Shame Free Zone on Facebook 💜 Nobody there is going to tell you what you should have done by now. 🕊️
