Victims of narcissists/psychopaths (human predators) go through a process I refer to as ‘recalibration’ after they deeply ‘see’ the true nature of the narcissist/psychopath.
Recalibration involves mentally replaying and reviewing past situations, conversations, circumstances, interactions, other points of engagement with the narcissist/psychopath in light of the realisation that the human predator has two distinctly different sides to them. One side is the fake ‘normal’ side that the victim has been relating to (and which is only an act).
One side (which the victim sees just prior to recalibration) is severely dishonest and without any respect for laws, rules, agreements, moral principles or codes of any kind. This is the real nature of the predator.
Recalibration does not just happen in intimate partner relationships either. It could be a friend, relative, doctor, cult leader, accountant…
The victim replays situations and questions everything during the period of recalibration. Did that really happen as the human predator said it did? Were they really at that place then? What was really motivating them during this situation? Was that other person in on it too? Were they with the people they said they were with during that weekend? Did they actually do what they said they were going to do then? Did they know that they were hurting me when they did that? Where were they during that time really? Were they really abused as a child as they said they were or is that just a story they made up to suck me in? When did they first start targeting me? So that might not have been a coincidence when that happened? The questions are endless.
Recalibration is often a sickening and highly distressing process as the victim starts to uncover what has really been going on in the dynamic/relationship between themselves and the human predator.
Sometimes the recalibration process may last for years. The victim may continue to have (distressing) lightbulb moments where they realise something that was said by the human predator was untrue and something completely different was going on than what they understood.
It is difficult for people who have not been targeted by a narcissist, psychopath to understand the extraordinary level of cruelty and sadism they engage in. Think of the actions of a serial killer but without the visible weapon & with the harm inflicted over time to one person.
🚨 Ricky Gervais on God & Why The Universe Exists - "Why is there SOMETHING rather than Nothing"
“I’m an agnostic atheist. Technically everyone’s agnostic… no one knows whether there’s a God. We don’t know."
"An agnostic atheist is someone who doesn’t know there’s a God or not, as no one does. So you’re not convicted of your atheism?”
Atheism isn’t a belief system, it’s simply rejecting the claim that there is a God.
Are you an agnostic atheist too? Or do you believe?

@PedMenCoach Yes and no. We train with this but I also have concerns over the realism. Yes it creates cut back scenarios and encourages players to play forward as there is always an option to do so, but you’re never going to get bounce passes from the byline in a real game 🤔
