Manipulation happens more often than we might realize. Typical manipulative behaviour is often subtle and as they say, the devil is in the details. Please PLEASE remember, that manipulation can only occur when there also exists performative acts of charm, sacrifice and “good intentions”. But it’s a smoke screen for the deception and control the narcissist is focused on. You….mean……nothing. What matters is their fragile ego and maintaining the facade of being moral and above reproach. Manipulation will instigate guilt, shame, confusion, second guessing, self doubt, fear and in the end, self abandonment. There’s always the promises of good things, positive outcomes, and with that, your conditioning that you are responsible for the success or failure of the relationship. When you begin to notice the subtle signs of confusion and doubt, or the stronger feelings of anxiety and isolation, you need to allow some level of curiosity so you can determine what is happening. Seek a professional to help discern what’s going on if you are trapped with confusion and you’re noticing that your confidence has dropped to the point that you depend on another to make decisions for you. Manipulation is an effective tactic to rob you of independence and agency. Your life is no longer yours. It belongs to the manipulator who has ensured you lost your power and your mind. ❤️🙏🏼

NEURO-TERMS: Important Terms To Get Right

NEURODIVERSE
Neurodiverse describes a collection or group of people with varying neurotypes. The world is neurodiverse due to natural human diversity. One person alone cannot be neurodiverse, but one person can be neurodivergent.

NEURODIVERGENT
Neurodivergent is a de-pathologising, affirming term used by people whose neurotypes are not treated as normative by the dominant culture in their society. Neurodivergent people may possess unique strengths and challenges.

NEURODIVERSITY
Extensive scientific research shows a wide range of human neurotypes. Neurodiversity is the term used to describe the abundant diversity of human minds, the neurocognitive abilities among people within the human species.

NEURODIVERGENCE
This is a term used for those who are not considered ‘typical’. This term describes people who experience oppression and exclusion due to not having ‘typical’ mental or neurological function, brain activity or shape, or expression.

Ever catch yourself mid-sentence and think “I sound exactly like my parents”? Or perhaps you’re aware of “family curses” those patterns of behaviour, addiction, or silence that everyone knows about but no one talks about.

Research shows that intergenerational trauma can shape a family for up to seven generations, influencing everything from our behaviours to our very DNA! Our ancestors’ experiences don't just stay in the past.

But trauma isn’t your only inheritance.
Our ancestors went through the "hard stuff" wars, migrations, and deep losses and they passed down an intergenerational resiliency that is just as much a part of you as their wounds. Jen’s work focuses on honoring that grit while releasing the burdens that no longer serve you.

Jen is excited to announce that she has completed the Break the Cycle: Intergenerational Trauma Therapy training with Dr. Mariel Buqué, the renowned author of Break the Cycle: A Guide to Healing Intergenerational Trauma.
This training adds a powerful new lens to Jen’s counselling practice. It goes beyond traditional talk therapy to look at the "roots" of the family tree, helping you understand how attachment styles and past traumas are shaping your present-day life.

Insight is the first step, but action is what creates a new legacy. Jen focuses on providing practical strategies to help you move from "knowing" to "doing." By healing your own nervous system and shifting your relational patterns, you aren't just changing your life you are changing the future of your entire family line!

"Healing is an act of legacy-building." Dr. Mariel Buqué
