Common Myths
FIA trains women to detect manipulation, navigate complex power dynamics, and reclaim agency through education, AI-driven tools, and peer support.
FIA is for ambitious women aiming to build strong connections, but fear that their strengths (like high empathy, tolerance, and conscientiousness) will make them targets for manipulators to twist empathy into guilt and loyalty into obligation.
You may:
Sense when something’s off but can’t quite explain it.
Keep attracting people who manipulate or drain you, despite your best efforts to be fair and understanding.
Try to resolve conflicts with kindness but end up being the target.
Have followed all the self-help advice but still feel blindsided by toxic dynamics.
FIA isn’t generic self-help. Most of our members are already empathetic and socially aware—but emotional intelligence alone won’t protect you from skilled manipulators.
We take a precision-based approach to self-empowerment by:
Identifying Your Vulnerabilities: We pinpoint where you’re most at risk based on your unique strengths and personality.
Rewiring Your Perceptions: Hollywood and social conditioning distort how we see danger. FIA retrains your brain to stop mistaking control for care and coercion for commitment.
Rebuilding Intuition: If you’ve ever felt something was off but doubted yourself, we teach you to trust your instincts—and act on them.
Mastering Power Literacy: We don’t just teach red flags. We give you the tools to understand how power works—so you can navigate any dynamic with clarity and confidence.
Social discernment is the ability to accurately recognize hidden power dynamics, distinguish genuine intentions from manipulation, and make strategic decisions in complex social environments. It’s not just reading people—it’s seeing patterns, spotting subtle power plays, and trusting your instincts to protect your energy and achieve your goals.
Unison is a carefully designed peer-to-peer community built to maximize collective wisdom while remaining affordable. We’ve spent significant time structuring the platform so women can access high-quality insights without the high price tag.
Our community intentionally balances voices across age, race, class, and geography—recognizing that true intelligence comes from blending peer-reviewed research with lived experience. Some insights come with age; others come from navigating modern digital spaces. Together, these perspectives sharpen discernment for everyone.
Psychological safety is central to our design. The entire community structure, including clear escalation procedures, is undergoing review by psychologists to ensure a secure, judgment-free space.
A core feature of Unison is The Listening Module—a preventative mental wellness solution where women facing stress can share experiences and receive support. Designed to help prevent maladaptive coping strategies, this module is currently being reviewed by psychologists for safety and effectiveness.
We use a multi-tiered approach that includes:
Assessments: Measure exactly where you are vulnerable to psychological attacks.
Education: Personalized self-help in the specific areas you need help.
Practice: With our ChatBoy learning app, you rewire your brain to start to recognize deceptive and manipulative language.
Live Training and Simulations: Practice navigating coercive situations with “Toxic Workplace.”
AI-Powered Predictive Tools: Assess past and present relationships with our Player Identifier Chatbot
A Peer-to-Peer Support Network: Access a whole community of wise women to give you good advice and mentoring.
FIA is a for-profit social enterprise. While we operate as a business, we invest heavily in proprietary research on coercive control and develop educational tools for frontline workers including doctors and police officers.
No one has mapped how manipulation unfolds over time—so we’re building it. Unlike typical AI tools that rely on existing data, this data didn’t exist. We’re creating it to predict relationship risks before they escalate.
Real-Time Insight: Our Player Identifier Chatbot already helps women spot manipulation patterns in past relationships—with proven accuracy.
Closing the Data Gap: We’re developing the first structured dataset on coercion to power AI-driven insights.
AI on the Horizon: Soon, our AI will analyze conversations in real time, flag power plays, and help women make informed decisions before they get trapped.
Bottom line: We’re turning cutting-edge research into practical tools that help you recognize manipulation before it costs you years of your life.
Manipulation isn’t obvious—it’s personalized. Skilled manipulators target your specific strengths, whether that’s empathy, ambition, loyalty, or a sense of justice. What catches you off guard might be clear to someone else.
The Blind Spot Assessment reveals where you’re most vulnerable. Manipulation works like a computer virus, exploiting gaps in your cognitive “software” and draining your energy unnoticed. Our assessment acts like a security patch, giving you practical tools to spot manipulation before it takes hold.
You can’t eliminate blind spots—but you can learn to check them every time you “change lanes.”
FIA welcomes individuals of all ages, races, and geographical locations. Our diverse, global community is key to developing the social discernment skills we teach. We also partner with organizations and are developing an ambassador program to expand our reach and impact.
