THE ESSAYS
Research-informed explorations of ethics, leadership, human dignity, society, and personal transformation.
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF GASLIGHTING
Gaslighting can undermine more than self-confidence. Drawing on psychological, sociological, and philosophical research, this essay examines how manipulation erodes trust in one's memory and judgment, why power matters, and how self-trust can be rebuilt through evidence, autonomy, and supportive relationships.
TRAUMA, HYPERVIGILANCE, AND INTUITION: DISTINGUISHING SURVIVAL RESPONSES FROM SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT
When does intuition reflect meaningful insight, and when might it reflect heightened threat sensitivity? Drawing on trauma research, interoception, and decision science, this essay examines the distinction between survival responses and spiritual discernment—and why self-trust requires more than certainty.
