Filters and gagging orders

Abusers and bullies often rely on control and silence to maintain their power and avoid accountability. Filters, metaphorically speaking, or outright gagging orders serve as tools to suppress the truth and keep others from sharing their experiences or exposing harmful behavior.

Speaking up is a form of reclaiming power and can be incredibly liberating. It also sheds light on the dynamics of abuse, encouraging others to come forward and dismantle those cycles. Of course, how and when to speak up is deeply personal and situational—some choose to use their voices publicly, while others focus on healing privately.

It’s essential to remember that your voice is your power. No one has the right to dictate your narrative or silence your truth, especially if it’s part of your healing and growth. The more people who feel empowered to share their experiences, the harder it becomes for bullies and abusers to hide in the shadows. Keep standing strong!… Read More Filters and gagging orders
