Psychological abuse involves a person’s attempts to frighten, control, or isolate you. It’s in the abuser’s words and actions, as well as their persistence in these behaviors.
Humiliation, negating, criticizing These tactics are meant to undermine your self-esteem. The abuse is harsh and unrelenting in matters big and small: Character assassination. This usually involves the word “always.” You’re always late, wrong, screwing up, disagreeable, and so on. Basically, they say you’re not a good person. Yelling. Yelling, screaming, and swearing are meant to intimidate and make you feel small and inconsequential. It might be accompanied by fist-pounding or throwing things. Patronizing. “Aw, sweetie, I know you try, but this is just beyond your understanding.” Public embarrassment. They pick fights, expose your secrets, or make fun of your shortcomings in public. “Joking.” The jokes might have a grain of truth to them or be a complete fabrication. Sarcasm. Often just a dig in disguise. When you object, they claim to have been teasing and tell you to stop taking everything so seriously. Insults of your appearance. They tell you, just before you go out, that your hair is ugly or your outfit is clownish. Put-downs of your interests. Pushing your buttons. Once your abuser knows about something that annoys you, they’ll bring it up or do it every chance they get.
Control and shame Trying to make you feel ashamed of your inadequacies is just another path to power: Lecturing. Belaboring your errors with long monologues makes it clear they think you’re beneath them. Direct orders. Outbursts. Treating you like a child. They tell you what to wear, what and how much to eat, or which friends you can see. Feigned helplessness. They may say they don’t know how to do something. Sometimes it’s easier to do it yourself than to explain it. They know this and take advantage of it. They walk out. In a social situation, stomping out of the room leaves you holding the bag. At home, it’s a tool to keep the problem unresolved.
Accusing, blaming, and denial Denying something you know is true. This is called gaslighting. Using guilt. Goading then blaming. Abusers know just how to upset you. But once the trouble starts, it’s your fault for creating it.
Emotional neglect and isolation Shutting down communication. They’ll ignore your attempts at conversation in person, by text, or by phone. Dehumanizing you. They’ll look away when you’re talking or stare at something else when they speak to you.
What to do Accept that the abuse isn’t your responsibility. Don’t try to reason with your abuser. You may want to help, but it’s unlikely they’ll break this pattern of behavior without professional counseling. That’s their responsibility. Disengage and set personal boundaries. Decide that you won’t respond to abuse or get sucked into arguments. Stick to it. Limit exposure to the abuser as much as you can. Exit the relationship or circumstance. If possible, cut all ties. Make it clear that it’s over and don’t look back.

discontinuing attempts to escape or avoid the aversive stimulus, even when such alternatives are unambiguously presented. Over the past few decades, neuroscience has provided insight into learned helplessness and shown that the original theory actually had it backwards: the brain's default state is to assume that control is not present, and the presence of "helpfulness" is what is actually learned In humans, learned helplessness is related to the concept of self-efficacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness

Hypervigilance is a state of increased alertness. If you’re in a state of hypervigilance, you’re extremely sensitive to your surroundings. It can make you feel like you’re alert to any hidden dangers, whether from other people or the environment. Often, though, these dangers are not real.
Hypervigilance can be a symptom of mental health conditions, including: post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) anxiety disorders schizophrenia
Hypervigilance can have a negative effect on your life. It can affect how you interact with and view others, or it may encourage paranoia.
You may overreact if you hear a loud bang or if you misunderstand a coworker’s statement as rude. These reactions may be violent or hostile in a perceived attempt to defend yourself.
You may fear judgment from others, or you may judge others extremely harshly. This may develop into black-and-white thinking in which you find things either absolutely right or absolutely wrong. You can also become emotionally withdrawn. You may experience mood swings or outbursts of emotion.
Mental symptoms of hypervigilance can include paranoia.

If you have severe social anxiety, you may rely on day dreaming or non-participation in events. These symptoms can result in social isolation and damaged relationships.
If you have social anxiety, you may be hypervigilant in the presence of others, especially new people or people you don’t trust.
PTSD can cause you to be tense. You may constantly scan the area for perceived threats.
Common triggers hearing loud noises (especially if they’re sudden or emotionally charged), which can include yelling, arguments, and sudden bangs anticipating pain, fear, or judgment feeling emotional distress being reminded of past traumas being around random, chaotic behaviors of others
CBT identify what causes your hypervigilance and how to deal with it. Exposure therapy can be helpful if you have PTSD. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR combines exposure therapy with guided eye movements. This can ultimately change how you react to traumatic memories.
Coping: Search for objective evidence in a situation before reacting. Pause before reacting. Acknowledge fears or strong emotions, but don’t give in to them. Set boundaries with others and yourself.
Hyperarousal is a primary symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It occurs when a person’s body suddenly kicks into high alert as a result of thinking about their trauma.
Hyperarousal symptoms are typically accompanied by: flashbacks (vivid memories of a traumatic event) a “numbed” emotional state attempts to avoid triggers that might cause thoughts about a traumatic event
The most common events resulting in the development of PTSD include: physical abuse during childhood physical assault
CBT helps patients recognize thinking patterns that cause their PTSD symptoms, such as negative self-image and thinking a traumatic event will occur again. It’s often used along with exposure therapy https://www.healthline.com/health/mental-health/hyperarousal
People experiencing hypervigilance are unusually sensitive to the environment and people around them.
It is not a condition in itself, but a way of behaving that may be caused by trauma or an underlying mental health problem.
When someone experiences hypervigilance, their subconscious is constantly anticipating danger. As a result, their senses are on high alert, ready to spot and respond to any danger.
This super alertness makes people with hypervigilance feel and act as though there is always a threat around the corner. Normally, they are not responding to a real threat. Rather, their brain is overanalyzing, and overreacting to, input from their senses.
In paranoia, people hold specific, untrue beliefs that certain people or things are out to get them. People experiencing hypervigilance do not have any fixed beliefs about a specific thing happening, however. They are not delusional but just on high alert.
In paranoia, people have a delusional belief that someone or something is trying to harm them now, in the present. In hypervigilance, people are on guard in anticipation of something bad happening in the future.
In paranoia, people will not be aware that they are suffering from an illness and may believe that their delusions are true. In hypervigilance, people often have an awareness that there is no objective reason to be on edge, but find it hard to relax nonetheless. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/319289#symptoms-of-hypervigilance
Sustained states of hypervigilance, lasting for a decade or more, lead to higher sensitivity to disturbances in their local environment, and an inability to tolerate very small or large groups. After resolution of the situation demanding their attention, people are exhausted and are often unable to function in normal society. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervigilance
Trigger warnings are designed to help survivors avoid reminders of their trauma, thereby preventing emotional discomfort. Yet avoidance reinforces PTSD. Conversely, systematic exposure to triggers and the memories they provoke is the most effective means of overcoming the disorder. Metin Basoglu, a psychiatrist specializing in trauma research, said that "instead of encouraging a culture of avoidance, [the media] should be encouraging exposure. Most trauma victims avoid situations that remind them of the experience. Avoidance means helplessness and helplessness means depression. That's not good. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trauma_trigger

Plato discovered we're using "copy-paste" commands in our heads to explain reality & that creates our false explanations in the long run.The Philosophy Book: We recognize thins in the world, such as dogs, because we recognize they are imperfect copies of the concepts in our minds
Plato: Everything in this world is a "shadow" of its Ideal Form in the world of Ideas. There must be a world of Ideas, or Forms, which is totally separate from the material world. It is there that the Idea of perfect exists.
Plato concludes that human senses cannot perceive this place directly - it is only perceptible to us through reason. Plato even states that this realm of Ideas is "reality", and that the world around us is merely modelled upon it. (Allegory of the Cave)
At best, we may have opinions, but genuine knowledge can only come from study of the Ideas, and that can only ever be achieved through reason, rather than through our deceptive senses.The material world may be subject to change, but Plato's world of Ideas is eternal and immutable
In the Republic, he also argues that it is philosophers, or rather those who are true to the philosopher's calling, who should be the ruling class. This is because only the true philosopher can understand the exact nature of the world and the truth of moral values.

Our hearts are full of cosmic laws. Learn just a few, get good at those, there's nothing can stand between you and the person you want to be. Richard Bach "Running from Safety"
