Using Grey Rocking for abusers
So what is the Grey Rock Method? It was first mentioned by a blogger named Skylar who wrote an article on 180rule.com. In 2009 after leaving a relationship she poured out her story to a stranger. After she shared he told her that he was a malignant narcissist. He then told her what he did to his girlfriend when he experienced something similar. The idea is that your responses are as exciting as a dull rock. This doesn't attract attention and blends in with your surroundings. Listen in for more!

What is trauma and what does it look like?
Though I focus on abuse, trauma can be from another of other circumstances. This could be something that scared you, was stressful, or something beyond your control such as:
- A vehicle accident
- Surgery gone wrong
- Neglect
- Domestic Abuse
- Bullying
- Natural Disaster
- War
- Sudden loss of a loved one/pet and more!
The emotional and mental effects of trauma can remain hidden for days, weeks, years or decades and can show up in adults and children as:
- Unliving yourself or thinking about it
- Promiscuity
- Eating disorders
- Misusing drugs and/or alcohol
- Nightmare/Night Terrors
- Feeling helpless
- Self-isolation and more! Tune into today's episode for more details.
