While mental health awareness is at an all-time high, has the loose use of terms like "gaslighting," "narcissist," and "boundaries" become a tool for moral policing and weaponized victimhood? We explore how these labels are often used to deflect accountability and manipulate interpersonal dynamics.

Key Topics Explored:
The Rise of the "Perpetual Victim": Why some people find comfort in the victim identity and use it to control those around them.

The DARVO Loop: A breakdown of the "Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender" strategy often seen in toxic interactions.

Redefining Boundaries: Why "setting a boundary" isn't about controlling others, but about managing your own responses.

Clinical Nuance: Understanding the real differences between Narcissism, Psychopathy, and Sociopathy beyond the internet buzzwords.

The "Victim’s Victim": Addressing the reality that many people in therapy are there to deal with the actions of people who refuse to seek help themselves.
