I am challenging a prevailing myth among survivors of emotional abuse—the belief that narcissists are inherently smarter. Join us on a journey to redefine intelligence and break free from the constraints of this damaging misconception.

Here's what's inside:

1. Defining Intelligence

  • Explore the multifaceted nature of intelligence, encompassing cognitive, emotional, and social dimensions.
  • Highlight the importance of problem-solving, critical thinking, adaptability, empathy, and self-awareness.


2. The Narcissist's Playbook

  • Examine common traits of narcissists and how they often operate from a limited, repetitive playbook.
  • Contrast the rigid tactics of narcissists with the flexibility and original thinking associated with intelligence.


3. Impact on the Victim's Mindset

  • Discuss how victims may perceive their abusers as smarter and the profound impact on self-worth.
  • Challenging these beliefs to embrace our own intelligence.


4. Self-Reflection and Empowerment

  • Dive into the power of self-reflection as a tool for personal growth.
