About this listen

What if the very thing used against you as proof of your instability… was actually a trauma response?

In this episode of Facing the Mirror, Christina unpacks the misunderstood and often weaponized concept of reactive abuse. From personal experience to professional insight, she exposes how abusers flip the script—provoking emotional explosions and then pointing the finger, labeling you the "crazy one."

💥 We’ll explore:

  • What reactive abuse actually is (and what it’s NOT)

  • The psychology behind why you "snapped"

  • How trauma survivors are groomed into shame

  • The difference between responsibility and blame

  • Real-world examples of how victims are manipulated and mislabeled

Christina doesn’t just break down the cycle—she shows you how to break out of it. If you've ever been called "too much" or questioned your sanity after standing up for yourself, this episode is your mirror.

🔎 This isn’t about excusing bad behavior—it’s about exposing patterns.
Let’s talk truth, trauma, and taking your power back.
