Study Loft & Kintsugi Repair
FSA Membership Application: With Rebecca C. Mandeville
The Original Source of Family Scapegoating Abuse (FSA) Research & Recovery
The Architecture of the Scapegoat
Your current identity is not an accident. It was a project.
In a dysfunctional family system, your role was designed long before you had the power to protest. Your family and your ancestral line acted as the Architects of your Identity, laying down a blueprint that required you to be the “problem,” the “burden,” or the “shame.” They installed scripts in your internal architecture that conditioned you to stay small, stay silent, and stay compliant.
The FSA Kintsugi Repair™ is where we reclaim the drafting table. We stop living by a blueprint designed for your destruction and begin the work of restoring your “Native Truth,” free of family scripts. We aren’t just rearranging the furniture of your life; we are dismantling the original structure and re-architecting your future from the foundation up.
Why This Architecture Works
- Zero Blame, Total Responsibility: By saying their identity was “architected” by others, you remove the shame of “why am I like this?” It shifts the focus from a personal defect to a Structural Flaw in your (dysfunctional) family system.
- The Blueprint Metaphor: It bridges the gap between the Forensic Analysis (looking at the old plans) and the Repair (drawing new ones).
- Plain but Powerful: It avoids flowery, “comforting” language in favor of industrial, architectural, and tactical terms: Installed, Conditioned, Reconstruct, Repair, Rebuild, Strategic, Dismantling, Foundation, etc.
The Two Tier Approach
I offer two ways to engage with this work, depending on the level of support you need. Recovering from Family Scapegoating Abuse (FSA) is a structural process. Your family system installed specific “scripts” that shaped how you see yourself and the world. To heal, you have to dismantle those scripts and rebuild (re-architect) your identity on your own terms.
Scope of Service & Safety Protocol
In this workspace, I am not acting as a therapist or providing clinical mental health treatment. I am acting as a Structural Identity Architect and Consultant to help you recover from the damaging effects of FSA. As the researcher who named and clinically described Family Scapegoating Abuse, my role is to provide forensic education, strategic analysis of family systems, and the architectural tools you need to dismantle scapegoating scripts. We are here to build a strategy for your future.
Note: Neither tier is suitable for emotional venting; trauma “looping”; or family crisis or emergency situations. These are educational and strategic workspaces; they are not for clinical crisis intervention.
The Consequence: If a member uses these forums for emotional venting or crisis management, their access will be paused until they have secured external psychological or emergency services. This is a requirement to maintain the safety and focused intent of the group.
The Structural Distinction: Membership vs. Masterclass
Note on the Scapegoat Exit Masterclass™: Participation in The Kintsugi Repair™(Tier 2) provides direct access to ongoing strategy and bi-weekly live consultations. Please note:
- The Masterclass is a separate, intensive program and is not included as part of the monthly membership fee for either tier.
- The Benefit: Tier 2 members who maintain an active membership for 3 consecutive months earn a 30% Discount Voucher to be applied toward the Masterclass enrollment. Tier 1 members will receive a 15% Discount Voucher to apply toward the Masterclass.
The Membership is your ongoing support structure; the Masterclass is your deep-dive surgical extraction.
Tier 1: The FSA Study Loft
Focus: Education and self-paced research.
This tier is designed for those who want to understand the mechanics of systemic scapegoating in families and how to “exit” the “scripts”. It provides the clinical language and foundational tools you need to make sense of your experience and find your way out.
- What’s Included: Access to the private community feed and a growing library of forensic data on FSA that is relevant to your experiences and recovery path.
- Best For: Individuals who prefer to study the material independently and connect with a community of others on the same journey of healing from FSA.
- How to Join: [Coming Soon – Check back on March 9th, 2026, for link to join Tier 1).
Tier 2: The Kintsugi Repair
Focus: Active strategy and direct application.
This is a high-intensity workspace for those who want to move past theory and into the actual extraction of family scripts.
- What’s Included: Bi-weekly Live Strategy Zooms with me, where we work through case studies and specific extraction tactics.
- The Session Archive: If you cannot attend a live meeting, you will have access to a Summary of Applicable Data—a redacted, tactical briefing of the strategies discussed—posted in the private Tier 2 feed.
- The Masterclass Benefit: Members who stay in this tier for 3 months receive a 30% discount on the upcoming Masterclass when it is released later in 2026.
- Cost: $147.00 / month.
- The Process: Because of the intensive nature of this group, I manually review every request to join so as to ensure the group remains safe and focused.
