In the Psycheverse
Psyche treats manipulation as a dark undercurrent in mythology, spirituality, and power dynamics. She deconstructs how systems—from cults to false heroic narratives—engineer consent and false awakening through drugs, gaslighting, and projection, while celebrating tactics of resistance: clarity, self-awareness, and the ability to recognize when you've been made a retrieval tool rather than an agent of your own story.
