Based on my last reblog I propose using the following tags for talking about “mind control” or programming
- itbc
- tw itbc
- itbc survivor
- intentional torture based conditioning
This does not come from a place of wanted to downplay the trauma we’ve gone through. This comes from a place of wanting to destigmatise and demistify it to people who are not part of the community. I have personally found that explaining what I went through as “conditioning that used torture methods” made my therapist understand what I was talking about much more quickly than if I would have used terms like programming.
I also think it will remove a lot of back and forth about “what is mind control” “what is programming” because conditioning is a very basic psychological theory and is simple to explain and understand. I hope the community agrees or wants to talk about this because I’m very interested in it as a topic.
