Before we dive in, let’s be clear. The goal here isn’t to dismiss anyone’s story or downplay the weight of personal struggle. Quite the opposite. We’re here to hold space, not throw stones. To challenge, not to condescend. To uplift, not to scold. That said, helping others find their way out of psychological warfare isn’t about playing savior. It’s a craft that requires both intelligence and a deep sensitivity to the human condition. True empowerment doesn’t ignore emotion, it respects it. But it doesn’t hand over the wheel either.
