This explains so much.

Many highly sensitive, intelligent, and gifted adults are stuck in toxic relationships without knowing why. The answer could lie in a history of parentification and prioritizing the needs of others. This is how. https://t.co/VXx93HeJ5h

Gaslighting doesn't just manipulate victims. Over time, it literally rewires their brains. Here's how it works—and how you can recover and reclaim your reality. https://t.co/fsLGzGPXnH

“Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

― Dylan Thomas

Because…there is so much bleak stuff going on, and this is heartwarming, and it’s made by a French animation team (not by AI), and it’s gone viral and everyone in France is talking about it.
Enjoy!

@BexBookaholic So glad you're enjoying it! x

[Philosophy Quotes @philosophors]

“Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.”

@BexBookaholic Ditto! We must find time for a catch-up over cake and mini Cheddars in the green room 🙂.

[Louise Spencely 📚 @LSpencely]

@BexBookaholic Likewise! I'll be there bright and early, ready to actually do something useful (unlike last year!). x

Have you ever wondered what it's like to realize everything you believed about a parent was a lie?

In this video (part 1), I break down the initial realization process: what I felt, how I coped, and how life-altering it truly was.

Our vagus nerve can help us recognize the manipulation of gaslighting that strives to make us distrust our own brain and body. This is how, explains Jennifer Fraser, Ph.D. https://t.co/pEtVfRfLls

A challenging couple of weeks have just been made much much better by the arrival in my in-box of the manuscript of Bridgerton and Philosophy 🤩. As with every book in this series even the list of contributors is a joy to read, and I know things will only get better from here on.
