Founder and Executive Director of TAR Network.
Dr. Jamie Huysman, the Founder and Executive Director of TAR Network, realized the need to establish a common vocabulary in defining and explaining TAR (Toxic Abusive Relationships). He coined this term to describe relationships characterized by a trifecta of destructive traits: a lack of empathy, a refusal of accountability, and a manipulative, transactional, Machiavellian approach. Individuals caught in TAR are often ensnared in a web of emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and exploitation.
