Abusers Don’t See Themselves as Abusers

from You Are Not Crazy · host Jessica Knight

I explain how abusers redefine what abuse is, minimize their actions, and use comparisons to “someone worse” as a shield from accountability. I break down how they weaponize therapeutic language, flip the script so boundaries look like cruelty, and create a public image that leaves survivors questioning their own reality.Support the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.
