What’s Think Like a Liar, exactly?
It’s an educational content house designed to help survivors of abuse rebuild their sense of self, but that sounds a bit heavy sometimes… so the short version is that we’re a community of people healing their CPTSD.
Okay, and who’s voice is writing this?
Well, hey! I’m Dee.
I’m a late-diagnosed autistic woman living with CPTSD (and Crohn’s, because apparently one plot twist wasn’t enough).
I’m not a Therapist or a Doctor. I’m just someone who spent years being told I was too sensitive, too nice, and too easy to manipulate until I finally started carrying the receipts…
Which is also why this brand is called Think Like a Liar...
Wait.. why “Think Like a Liar”? Because people who manipulate rely on you not knowing how they think. Once you can see the pattern, it stops working nearly as well. That’s the whole point of this place.
Here you learn about how the worst liars, manipulators, and exploitative people cause harm based on credible psychology (with receipts), in a format designed exclusively for survivors who are done being gaslit.
Every Sunday, my column The Things Nobody Tells You About Healing… takes one life-lesson from my lived experience, asks the tough-but-honest questions I used to move myself forward, and checks what I lived against what the research actually says. No made-up statistics, no $497 nervous-system courses, and no bullsh*t… because we’ve lived through enough of that already.
What you’ll get here:
The Things Nobody Tells You About Healing…, my weekly column, every Sunday morning
Receipts, long-form articles about pop-psychology, being targeted for being different, and rebuilding your sense of self… with the studies linked, of course!
The Late-Diagnosed CPTSD Guide to Getting Back Up, an honest look at living with invisible illness at 43
Animal Behavior by Chris Gamache, wildlife lessons for healing hearts
Ground Rules
We aren’t doctors or therapists, and nothing here is medical advice. This is a space for people actively healing, committed to being safe in how they treat others, and accountable enough to know that words can cause as much damage as physical harm.
We’re unapologetically inclusive of everyone committed to causing no harm. We don’t treat intolerance as a “difference of opinion,” and we don’t accept coded language, hate speech, bigotry, or highly narcissistic or transactional behaviour. Respect is a requirement here. Intolerance gets you removed permanently, with no second chances.
🫶🏼✨ Written by Dee: not a therapist, just healing from CPTSD out loud.
