Benedikte Brantsæter joins us as a speaker again this year. Benedikte will present “Psychological Violence – How Capable, Intelligent People Get Broken Down”
The Presentation:
How to Rebuild Power, Clarity and Self-Trust
Psychological violence rarely leaves bruises – but it dismantles identity, clarity and self-trust.
Many high-functioning, intelligent people slowly lose their voice, boundaries and decision-making power in relationships characterised by manipulation, coercion, gaslighting and control.
As therapists and helpers, we often meet clients when they are confused, ashamed and unable to think clearly – yet we treat it as “low self-esteem” or “attachment issues.”
What if we are actually looking at the effects of psychological violence?
This talk introduces a practical, trauma-informed and strategy-based framework for understanding how people are broken down — and how we can help them rebuild strength, clarity and personal power before focusing on healing.
Because healing is difficult when the fire is still burning.
