If you’ve recently left an emotionally unsafe, unpredictable, or emotionally immature relationship and you’re waking up terrified, this video is for you.
Nighttime is when the nervous system slips into old Fear Loops — those survival states your body learned after months or years of emotional instability, criticism, walking on eggshells, withdrawal, or confusion.

You’re not weak.
You’re not going backwards.
Your body is trying to protect you.

This video gently guides you into a Love Loop™ — a moment of internal safety, warmth, self-support, and grounding so you can return to rest.

This support video is designed for people who:

• wake from nightmares with a racing heart
• lived with unpredictability, dismissal, or chronic “not feeling safe”
• carry childhood or relationship complex trauma
• are rebuilding life after emotional harm
• need a compassionate, grounding presence to settle the body

No labels.
No diagnoses.
Just support.

What This Video Does
• gently settles nighttime hyperactivation
• slows the breath and nervous system
• brings you into your Wise Adult Self
• helps you shift out of Fear Loops and into Love Loops
• guides a calm visualization that supports falling back asleep
• offers validation and dignity

Chapter 6 — What It Looks Like in Real Life

Narcissism doesn’t always look like shouting or cruelty. Sometimes it looks like charm, success, and calm control — until you realize you’ve been slowly erased.

Chapter 6 of The United States of Disconnection shows what emotional abuse actually feels like in real life. Through stories and patterns, Darren Elliott explains how narcissism hides behind good intentions — and why seeing it clearly is the first act of healing.

If you’ve ever walked away from a relationship, a job, or even a family wondering, “Was it really that bad?” — this chapter gives language to what your body already knew.

Divided we fall. Disinformation taught us to fear each other.

That’s how disconnection wins — not with weapons, but with lies that make us forget our shared humanity.

Darren Elliott’s book, The United States of Disconnection, exposes how fear and manipulation have turned empathy into suspicion — and how truth, compassion, and courage can bring us back together.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about psychology, power, and what happens when fear becomes a national habit.

Chapter 45 — We’re Not Human: What Happens When You’re Treated Like the Enemy

What happens when an entire society starts seeing its neighbors as enemies?

In Chapter 45 of The United States of Disconnection, Darren Elliott explores how fear, propaganda, and manipulation slowly erode empathy — and how cruelty becomes normalized when people stop seeing one another as human.

This chapter is raw, urgent, and necessary. It connects the dots between personal abuse and public dehumanization — from family systems that silence truth to nations that reward aggression. It’s a mirror for our time.

If you’ve felt unseen, mislabeled, or devalued by people who call you “the problem,” this one will hit deep.

Admiration is agreement. Lifting up hate passes it on.

Every time we celebrate cruelty or look away from it, we feed the culture of disconnection. That’s the warning at the heart of Darren Elliott’s The United States of Disconnection — a book that exposes how fear and narcissism have reshaped what we admire, and how we can reclaim empathy before it’s too late.

This isn’t just about politics or social media — it’s about what kind of people we become when we mistake dominance for strength.

Chapter 41 — I Trusted the Wrong People — Now What?

We’ve all been there — realizing too late that the people we trusted were never safe. Maybe it was a partner, a leader, a friend, or even a system that promised to protect you but ended up manipulating your truth.

When trust is shattered, the hardest person to believe again is yourself.

That’s what Chapter 41 of The United States of Disconnection is about — rebuilding self-trust after gaslighting, betrayal, and emotional manipulation. It’s not about blame; it’s about coming home to your own perception and power.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “How did I not see it sooner?” — this chapter is for you.

Hate is not legacy. Death doesn’t make cruelty noble.

The truth is simple: cruelty leaves scars, not strength. If we want to pass on something worth remembering, it has to be empathy, connection, and love.

That’s the vision at the heart of Darren Elliott’s book, The United States of Disconnection. It names the fear and disconnection shaping our culture — and shows how we can choose a different path forward.

What Just Happened to Us?

The last decade left many of us asking: What just happened?

Chapter 1 of The United States of Disconnection names the shock we’ve all felt — families fractured, truth destabilized, and fear becoming the fuel of public life. Before we can heal, we have to face what’s real. This opening chapter is where the journey begins.

We become what we admire. Narcissism spreads when we celebrate it.

That’s the warning at the heart of The United States of Disconnection. When fear and power are admired, empathy gets pushed aside. But we can choose differently — we can build a culture that celebrates connection, not control.

Christian Nationalism and the Narcissism of Moral Empire

When faith turns into control, it stops being love.

Chapter 42 of The United States of Disconnection exposes how Christian nationalism twists morality into power — punishing difference, silencing dissent, and disguising fear as holiness. If you’ve ever wondered why so many people feel wounded by religion, this chapter names the pattern.
