The conformer knows that safety, money, access, employment, standing hinges on their ability to fall in line (just like it did in their household) and the challenger knows the way things are can hurt people that they know and love and that conformity can be dangerous.

I need you see how these two charts are related. imagine “The Enabler” or “The Golden Child” in the Narcisstic Family gets job at “The Organization”. Their most fundamental survival skills are 1) knowing go along to get along and 2) appeasing the person in power.

When they learn that there is no safety in enabling abusers, but being that that’s how many of their families, communities and churches are structured, that would require them to rewire their entire relationship and understanding of power.
