Exactly. You captured nicely what I was trying to say with far too many words lol.
I agree with the boiling frog analogy. I believe death by a million paper cuts fits as well
Such important information and insight. Thank you for your compassionate work. Giving a voice to the silenced, discarded, and erased makes a difference. Understanding lived experiences is critical to reducing individual and societal suffering. We need radical systemwide changes to reverse the current trajectory of policies and practices that undermine freedom, safety, and equality. Your statement about the young man who felt trapped in a place where his presence was voluntary should be highlighted for emphasis of understanding. Maintaining a power imbalance with coercive control involves forcing targets into unresolvable dilemmas regarding life and survival. The resulting loss of autonomy serves the ones in power in many ways. It’s a trap that can’t be seen. It misplaces cause and blame. It creates they very problems it claims to be helping. It reinforces conformity and compliance to rigid beliefs. It’s written on the warning sign that’s staked on the slippery slope on which we live. Compassion is the only way off
