đź“– Dark to the Core - Understanding the Roots Of Abuse (ebook)
Dark to the Core is a forensic breakdown of how destructive personalities operate—across relationships, institutions, and entire systems.
This book examines six traits that define what psychologists call the “Dark Core”: narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism, sadism, egoism, and entitlement. These traits don’t always act alone—they overlap, reinforce, and escalate. The result is a pattern of abuse that’s disturbingly predictable once you know what to look for.
Inside, you’ll learn:
The psychological structure of narcissistic, Machiavellian, and sadistic abuse
How manipulative people exploit love, family, and systems of care
The phases of coercive control in romantic relationships
How children are used as tools of control and vengeance
How courts, therapists, and churches are co-opted by abusers
What happens when coaching, spirituality, and therapy become new stages for manipulation
Why false accusations, smear campaigns, and “virtuous” cruelty follow a template
How to document, name, and confront abuse effectively
This book is not a memoir. It’s not a trauma journal. It’s a strategic guide for anyone trying to understand the logic of domination—and how to break its hold.
