Gaslighting sounds like..

Have you heard any of these before? ✨ Today I wanted to speak to a topic that is near and dear to my heart - gaslighting. Growing up (before gaslighting was a term that was commonly used) I had a few friendships that were very unhealthy for me. As the people pleaser and the perfectionist, I tried so hard for so long to make it work no matter how much it broke me. Gaslighting is REAL, and its hurtful. Creating this post brought up many previous emotions for me that I hadn’t thought about in years. Anxiety can make this experience even more intense for many because it will start to feel those comments with more and more limiting beliefs. If you are experiencing any of these statements, I am so sorry you have to go through this. You deserve all the love you so freely give to others, and if someone does not support your in the way you need, or is gaslighting you, it may be a valuable time to reflect on if that person needs to be in your life and the role they are playing in your life 💕 I acknowledge that not every situation is easy by any stretch to create distance from the person gaslighting you, but I hope this post is helpful in facilitating reflection on the people in your life ✨ Sending love, Carly
