Our Approach

Dr. Aday's Original Theoretical Contribution

Emotional Colonization is Dr. Aday's original theoretical contribution to the field, a framework for understanding how narcissistic abuse systematically subjugates a person's internal emotional landscape. The companion framework, Decentering and Emotional Sovereignty, provides a neuroscience-informed path to reclaiming full psychological autonomy. This is not generic boundary work. It is a clinically precise process of recovering the self that was colonized.
