THE KILL CODE

13 Rules for Surviving the Worst

This isn't self-help. It's not motivational fluff. It's a survival manual, born from the darkest chapters of my life—the brutal realities of psychological warfare, devastating addiction, calculated betrayal, relentless sabotage, deep-rooted trauma, and profound isolation. It's for those who carry unseen scars, for those who mask their pain with high achievement, for those who silently fight battles every single day.

I wrote this guide because I desperately needed it when I was at my lowest, but it didn’t exist. It’s the clarity I wish someone had handed me when I was gaslit into questioning my sanity, when my trust was manipulated by people I believed had my back, when addiction became my only temporary escape, and when trauma threatened to consume everything good left inside me.

Here's what's inside:

• 13 brutally honest rules for emotional survival—learned from climbing back up after hitting absolute rock bottom.
• Real, hard-earned insights that saved my life and helped me rebuild from the edge of collapse.
• Practical strategies designed specifically for high-performers who publicly thrive under intense pressure but privately break apart.
• No clichés, no filler, no abstract therapy-talk—just authentic, straightforward tactics that genuinely fucking work.

If you've ever felt broken, if you've ever been told you're "too much" or "too damaged," know this: you're not. You're resilient, you're powerful, you're here—and that alone speaks volumes. These rules will remind you of your strength, even when your own mind tries to convince you otherwise.

The Kill the Silence Vault

Every trauma & recovery tool I’ve ever made. All in one place.

This is the full collection of my digital recovery and rebuilding tools.
Not theory. Just what actually worked when nothing else did.

I built this vault for people who are done pretending they’re okay
People who want to stop spiraling and start healing
People who have been through hell and are ready to come back swinging

Inside the vault, you’ll find frameworks I created during the worst seasons of my life
You’ll also find the exact systems I used to stop self-sabotage, interrupt intrusive thoughts, rebuild trust with myself, and start earning again after burning out

I’ve made a lot of these available individually as pay what you want
But this vault is for people who want everything in one place
It’s your full comeback kit
It’s the system I wish someone handed me when I was at my worst

You’ll get instant access to everything
You’ll also get every update I ever add to the vault in the future

You’re not lazy. You’re frozen.
This is a one-page survival tool designed to break through ADHD task initiation paralysis using science-backed methods — not shame.

Inside this free PDF, you'll get a brutally clear protocol that combines:

• Behavioral Activation from CBT
• Low-Threshold Activation to bypass executive dysfunction
• Dopamine priming through physical motion
• Implementation Intention for resistance-free momentum

There’s no list to write. No bullshit to plan. Just action that works when your brain says, “Nope.”

Use it when:

• You can’t get started no matter how hard you try
• You’re stuck in freeze mode
• Motivation is gone and pressure makes it worse
• You want to move but your brain won't boot

Created by Cody Taymore, founder of Kill The Silence™, this protocol is raw, honest, and designed for survivors of ADHD, trauma, and burnout who still want to get sh*t done.

Download it. Print it. Pin it to your wall.
And when you’re stuck — flip the damn switch.

You weren’t born agreeable. You were conditioned to disappear.

This is a multi-page recovery guide for people who:

• Apologize before they speak
• Say yes while their gut screams no
• Feel responsible for everyone’s comfort but their own
• Call it kindness, but feel resentment underneath it all

The Fawn Recovery Guide breaks that down — page by page — and gives you a way out that’s honest, grounded, and actually usable.

Inside this guide:

• Page 1: What fawning really is — not personality, but programming
• Page 2: Signs you’re in a fawn loop — and how to catch yourself in real time
• Page 3: Where it comes from — why it was never your fault
• Page 4: What to do with the guilt — because it always shows up
• Page 5: Scripts for when your mouth freezes
• Page 6: How to handle the spiral after setting a boundary
• Page 7: The reintroduction to your real self
• Page 8: A final reminder you’re not broken for finally saying no

This isn’t a journal prompt.
It’s a nervous system intervention.

You’re not selfish. You’re not too much.
You’re just healing — and no longer offering your peace to people who demand your compliance.
