Empowerment Tools
Dr. George Simon has written a series of empowerment tools to protect ourselves from abusers.
The last one he posted was about "Personal Empowerment: Knowing Yourself and Your Strengths, Weaknesses and Needs"
At some point it says something I share with him, knowledge is power... check the whole thread here:

"I’ve received countless testimonials over the years from individuals who attest to the fact that their lives were changed forever and they found untold personal power once they became determined to search their souls not only for their deepest wants and needs but also for those aspects of their own character that put them most at risk for abuse and exploitation at the hands of others. Knowledge is power. And knowledge of oneself is most empowering, especially in the realm of interpersonal relations. Make no mistake: individuals of unscrupulous character do their homework with respect to understanding you. That’s how they’re able to get the better of you. They often know you better than you know yourself, and that is the heart of the problem. The key to empowerment is knowing those aspects of yourself that make you vulnerable. And knowing yourself is the first step in loving yourself sufficiently to set the limits necessary to prevent yourself from being taken advantage of in your relationships."
