Thank you Nichols for your video! It really helped me feel seen today. Based on the comment section, I think a lot of other people needed it too. None of us can carry each others burdens fully, but a little help can go a long way. We’re in the same storm, but we don’t all have to drown. We can care for each other.

The number one thing that makes you vulnerable to predatory people is thinking that you’re not. Oversharing personal information with a person who is not safe, is like inviting a thief into your home. They will take the things that are most valuable. Trust people when they have earned your trust. Don’t blindly trust people you just met with valuable information. They are sicker than you are smart.

People who have a family history of cancer know they are more vulnerable to it. Therefore, they are much more likely to stay on top of screenings. People who think they are NOT vulnerable are actually the MOST vulnerable. Everyone thinks it won’t be them, until it is. When you know about dark personalities, deceptive minds, and predatory people, you can learn to recognize them when they show up. Knowledge is power when it is applied.

Ever brought forward a concern or disclosure only to be met with statements like:

- Talking about this to others is gossip
- Bringing this up is causing division
- You need to search your own heart first
- That's just your trauma talking
- Forgive and forget
- No one is perfect / We all make mistakes
- Suffering produces holiness
- Don't be driven by fear
- Love covers a multitude of sins

Author and GRACE Executive Editor Wade Mullen defines these reality-bending phrases as those that "make what is dangerous appear holy, what is protective appear sinful, and what is abusive appear loving. These phrases do not simply end thought, but reshape the playing field and the rules of engagement in which dialogue occurs."

If you've ever experienced the use of one of these phrases, we encourage you to check out Wade's full article on "The Wheel of Reality Bending Phrases" over on his personal substack at wademullen.substack.com/p/the-wheel-of-reality-bending-phrases
