GASLIGHTING IN A RELATIONSHIP LOOKS LIKE

GASLIGHTING IN A RELATIONSHIP LOOKS LIKE: (from them)

1️⃣ They minimise your very real experience that you are having.

2️⃣ They blame/judge your reality for being incorrect/ not valid.

3️⃣ They say “That never happened”, or “I never said that”, or “you’re making that up”

4️⃣ You communicate your needs & feelings and they respond with humour. They laugh it off.

5️⃣ You express your upset and they respond with “you are overreacting”

Gaslighting is term used when your reality is being dismissed. This often leads to feelings of losing your mind or going crazy.

(Your reality has been invalidated that many times that you begin to believe something else to be true).

This often leads to a freeze response within you because your brain cannot differentiate between your own truth and illusion (cognitive dissonance).

Gaslighting is more common within emotionally unavailable people, especially severe dismissive avoidants and narcissists.

Relating goes beyond feminine & masculine concepts.

A healthy & conscious relationship validates the reality of both parties. Safety & trust is created through presence, curiosity & validation.

You deserve to feel seen, heard, validated & SAFE.

Ready for relationships that thrive in love, passion, intimacy, communication & safety?
