| Synonyms | Invalidator, Deflector, Denialist |
| Applies to | headmates |
Confusers are headmates whose role is to purposely misdirect the system from learning about its trauma.
This can come in the form of providing false information to professionals, creating contradicting memories, denying the truth to other headmates, and “shutting down” the system, if new memories are accessed in some way.
Not all confusers know about the trauma itself. Some only know that their job is to lie about it.
A system may have unique names for different kinds of confusers (invalidators, denialist, deflectors, disowner, etc.)
