Jenga: Your Narrative Just Got Knocked out from Under You....

What happens to a person Gaslighted, attacked by a political psychopath, bully parent, or abusive narcissistic boss?

"Psychopathic brilliance meets your vulnerabilities, known or unknown"

A week link or vulnerability is used by "psychopathic brilliance"

a. a lifetime of skill and knowledge is dedicated to the "taking" via the attacks and methods
(see links to the book resources above on the 100 methods).
b. a brain then becomes dedicated to this:
narcissistic and taking methods of  attacker are combined with a brain without compassion, depth of feelings, remorse: the brain becomes one overtaken, dedicated to, and supercharged to function as that 17 year old regressed mind out to "get for me", greed, self serving, ego stroking,,,,,etc.

The result:

Your story of your life is gone....and their narrative or story is nourished, fed, grown...

Attacks range from sneaky vulnerability attacks, development of weaponry (the potato rubber band shooter....it's oddity confounds us), or just outright fist smashing.....

For them, it's the game of life, fun, but for you, it's the dissolution of life as you see it.

How, then, does one rebuild?


Here are a few ideas, metaphors from pictures and some videos on Africa from the BBC:


What healing metaphor are you using?


1. we must become the inner child again: be willing to play again, start, trust

2. We get back to our story narrative, like these videos symbolically explain:

Your Narrative Just Got Knocked out from Under You....

When our hidden needs, desires, and vulnerabilities rise: Hansel and Gretel

Recently, I was conned. Well, what is being conned but our own vulnerabilities, flaws in our "psychic" armor, and unrecognized but spilling out unconscious needs and desires.....we are an active participant.

One world news expert said on the Telly that Trump has a critical parent role with most, but that others have that child role: and both are willing participants in the "story" of life....any one can back out, though with many critical parents that are in authority and tend to be psychopathic, there are true dangers for the metaphoric child. At least at first.

What was the con? I was invited in to the home of a person. In moments, I was shown about, given a full house tour, fawned over, praised, given warmth and a home. So I thought. The only sign I had, and ignored was a necklace the person had on of a specific group religious symbol. It could have been any group, I'm not against groups or faith so I don't mention that here. It could be any group, church, or political element worldwide:

It could have been:

• a religious group
• a political group
• a dangerous cult
• a business cult
• a psychological cult 
• a for or against ideology of ANY sort (for or against Green Planet, house plants, DIY, shopping at Costco, having the best wine or olive oil, new cars vs old cars,,,,,,,etc. etc. etc. 

And, it could have been a "pro group", or an anti-group. It could have been any of Ronald Reagan's moralistic groups out to find immoral or communist like people, like his MPAA. It could have been McCarthy recruiting anti-communists to "protect America", or it could have been psychopath Judge Roy Cohn hosting a yacht cocktail party to gain influence for his anti-gay communist movement (though a homophobic homosexual).

It could have been any group for something, but also against an innocent group or idea. It could have been pro or con. It could have been for the True Savior and against the True Evil one, or it could have been for the anti-truth: don't be conned by the establishment, The True Evil One has been misnamed and the "that group's True Savior is actually Satan".

What is the archetype and symbol of the wicked witch in Hansel and Gretel?

Theme: parents want to get rid of  the children due to the burden of : an uninvited journey or mini-life quest is thrust upon the two. Most of life's lessons and quests are not chosen, they're tossed onto us. We find purpose, meaning, and soul often later on for that story. It's confusing and threatening to us. The journey itself always has threats, or else it would not be important, get our attention, or complete it's intended soul lesson.

Two, Hansel and Gretel represent actually one person, and are the two parts within us: masculine and feminine. 

Their parents want to get rid of them due to the burden of feeding them and have more food for themselves: we all must leave our parents, differentiate, and recognize our parents poor values or recognize our parents are becoming in age child-like.

We're drawn in to the candy pastry house: our weaknesses, unconscious desires, and childish wants finally come out.....perhaps we're caught off guard with the depth of our need or the quantity of salivating at the "candy".  Desire, needs, wants, hunger, seeking and deserving more......what comes out of our basement in hungry force?

The story: 

We're naive

Our unconscious desires, needs, wants, and VULNERABILITIES rise

We must deal with our self,,,,,or they consume us.

The witch intends to eat them: our inner hidden can destroy us, forever...... Examples:

One likes some idea, experience, desire so much that it takes over the whole Self, and the Soul is lost: I see this in Brazilians who are so torn by reality on the poverty streets that they escape by sniffing potent glue. Yes, escape from harmful realities is good, but what is a real escape? In this story, the glue sniffed is so powerful that portions of the brain, mind, soul, and life are destroyed with each use....and the loss is not retrievable. 

Or, one becomes so overtaken by an ideal that all else is lost: in being committed to some ultra conservative religio-political cult, there are two outcomes of the Hansel and Gretels:

a. person A represses desire, sex, fun, rebellion, creativity: and a million secret sex affairs are forged

b. person B represses the same, but becomes priggish and closed off to life, and a soul of creating, risking, desire, fun, learning, failing, and exploring is lost in some ranting blog.........perhaps even leading a few to become mass killers or ISIS recruits.....  (oddly, as recruits they may be celibate and morally constrained as their leaders teach them to be.....but as with the case of all "finger pointing and scapegoating groups", the leaders are lavishing themselves with sex, many wives, cars, luxuries, cigars, wine.....even in ISIS).

The Witch: our inner Feminine Creator, using feminine wiles to accomplish some evil dead. 

And, this Witch is like any Witch or Siren: deception is used for evil. True story: one day I talked to two women in my therapy office: one was a prostitute in Nevada, and actually was straight forward and demonstrated "moralities" others would ignore due to her chosen profession. The same day a client came in, a religious and priggish woman how had negative views of me, and most others. She was manipulative to get her way, bringing in a lovely peach cobbler for me. The, she worked in session of getting what she wanted: she wanted validation her husband was a ass, and she was justified in her daily punishment of him, that ass.  The later case demonstrated the feminine role of creative woman turned to the darkside: evil "eating" and consuming of the masculine or others after the con of getting them inside the house. 

Another view of this feminine turning to the darkside:

But, we're vulnerable, and learn.....

You survive and are no longer naive. You've left your parents metaphor of life, and faced your desires.  You then are smarter or consumed by them.

Siren, another symbol of the feminine gone wrong, taking over, using wiles to a wicked advantage.
