FLiP ThE ScRipT
Not MY Rapist!!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Let that monster go!
The way we use language in everyday speech plays a powerful role in shaping our thought patterns. Through semantics—the meanings we assign to words—we gradually “train” our minds to interpret reality in consistent ways (Lakoff & Johnson, 2003).
For example, repeatedly using absolute terms like “always” or “never” can reinforce rigid thinking, while more flexible language such as “sometimes” or “it seems” encourages openness and cognitive adaptability. Over time, these linguistic habits influence perception, emotional responses, and decision-making, demonstrating that thought is not only expressed through language but also structured by it.
By becoming more intentional with our word choices, we can actively reshape the mental frameworks that guide our beliefs and behaviors. This is true in many other aspects as well; sometimes we even stunt our healing process with the way we speak about our experiences and our trauma, like when we say things like, "My abuser."
In fact, if we break "My Rapist" / "My Abuser" down using our 3,2,1 method, we may develop a different perspective:
3 - He's my rapist / my abuser
2- He's MINE
1- Forever
Conceptualizing the individual who violated you with the words, "MY rapist/abuser," you subconsciously brand yourself with their existence. Without even realizing it, you allow this individual to remain a part of your story. And although they were at some point, a part of your story, the part they played in that aspect of your life has to come to an end so this individual and that situation no longer has a stronghold on you.
Let's FLIP ThE ScRipT on the way we talk about the people who violated us!
3 - Not MY rapist/abuser
2 - Go Away
1 - BYE!
From this point on, that monster you've been holding on to is free to go.
That is all for now my friends,
Happy Healing!!
