Domestic Violence & Relationship Dynamics
This comprehensive section offers a detailed exploration of domestic violence, focusing specifically on the DARVO phenomenon (Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender), reactive abuse, and the cumulative effects of psychological abuse tactics (i.e, gaslighting, 'water torture', triangulation, projection, and push-and-pull effects of intermittent reinforcement).
We break down how these tactics develop and persist, focusing on the cycle of violence and the concept of trauma bonding.

Neurodivergent Community
The term "neurodivergent" describes people whose brains work outside what is considered the "norm". Neurodivergence comes in many different forms, and is accompanied by unique strengths and weaknesses. Common examples of neurodivergent conditions include: Dyslexia, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). We would love for this to be an inclusive and supportive zone for people who identify as neurodivergent, as well as anyone who just wants to know more. Feel welcome to discuss your experiences, ask questions, and offer any helpful tips or advice :)

Mood and Personality
Mood is centred around our internal emotions and the self, whereas personality relates to the ways in which we think, perceive, react, and relate to others. Common examples of mood disorders include bipolar and depressive disorders. Some examples of personality disorders include obsessive-compulsive, borderline and avoidant personality disorders. We would love for this to be a supportive environment where people can discuss their experiences and openly ask questions about mood and personality.
