Ah, good ‘ol gaslighting. What a mind f**k.

You remember correctly and you believed what your partner told you. But now, they are twisting things, making you feel crazy for what you actually remember.

3 quick comebacks to stop gaslighting:

🛑 “Your version and mine are different. I’m using mine.”

🛑 “I remember correctly.”

🛑 “You are trying to bully me into seeing things incorrectly.”

You are allowed to have a different perspective, and your perspective can be right.

In Michigan and Florida, schedule an introductory call to get started with toxic relationship therapy.

I’m accepting new clients right now!

You want things to be better, so you over explain. You over analyze and you defend yourself to your toxic or narcissistic partner. You know what?

I bet it doesn’t work and makes you feel worse.

It’s not your fault - in a normal and “typical” relationship, you should be able to have respectful conversations and gain understanding. Not with a narcissist, a psychopath, or a toxic personality who abuses you.

Please reach out for professional guidance. Send me a DM or follow the link to schedule a call with me.

Yep, my clients feel stronger, more at peace, but with a wisdom that comes from going through HELL.

We know what relational trauma looks like - it’s manipulation, emotional abuse, narcissistic behavior, coercive control, gaslighting and all the f**ked up ways our partners have tried to hurt us.

Guess what? We have the last laugh and have taken back the power to our own lives. We are healing, rising and empowering.

This is your sign to book a call with me immediately. The link is above.

You thought he was charming and had your back. But slowly over time, he’s chipping away at you.

He’s devaluing you, emotionally abusive, threatening, isolating, controlling, and you wake up to the lie.

The lie that says “but he loves me”!

No, you are his supply. You are someone he thinks is beneath him. He’s superior to you.

And you realize how f**ked up that is. You now cannot unsee it. You know it’s not love, but it messes with your head.

What can you do? You can meet with me - an experienced therapist who understands this dynamic firsthand.

Schedule an introductory call with me at the link in my bio. I’ve got you.

Why the hell doesn’t she just leave, right? Yeah. I get it. Seems like a reasonable question.

However, it is psychological warfare going on in her narcissistic relationship. He’s using so many manipulative tactics that it makes it impossible to “just leave”.

Listen, I’ve been there and I’ve made it my mission to help women in the same situation.

Here’s how I can help:

▪️In Michigan and Florida - schedule a free introductory call with me for professional, experienced therapy from a clinician who gets it.

▪️Elsewhere- hire me as your relationship coach to find answers to these questions. Why? Because I’ve experienced what you are going through, I’ve become a licensed therapist who helps women heal and you need support at this time.

▪️Grab my mini masterclass called Letting Go of Toxic Love for $37. It’s a no brainer - like a therapy session in a quick bite - to help you learn how the heck to be done with toxic love.

▪️Like, follow and share with a girlfriend.

Your follows matter - it means I can help more women!

Questioning whether you were stupid after ignoring red flags and your own intuition is normal after a narcissistic relationship. (Been there, done that!) 😡

First, you have a loving heart that tries to see the best in people. That’s why you are empathetic and that’s what your narcissistic partner was drawn to!

Second, you didn’t know what you didn’t know. In order to heal you will have to give Grace for who you were at that time - someone without all the knowledge you have now. You now see patterns of behaviors and patterns of emotional abuse that you cannot unsee.

Third, you likely asked questions when a red flag was raised, and you got an answer. You had to make a decision to either keep asking and create conflict, or let it go to keep the peace. You likely chose to keep the peace. That seems reasonable!

The question is really what do you do now? Now that you see the red flags. And now that your intuition is honed in, what do you do?

1️⃣ do you leave the relationship?

2️⃣ do you find a way to stay but be aware?

3️⃣ do you plan for an exit?

4️⃣ do you ignore what you know?

You are not broken. You are not stupid. You were going with the information you had at the time.

But now that you see it and actually feel it, you are so much more likely to develop the skills to know narcissistic, abuse, emotional abuse, manipulation, gaslighting, and consistent lies in the future.

Here’s how I can help:

▪️In Michigan and Florida - schedule a free introductory call with me for professional, experienced therapy from a clinician who gets it.

▪️Elsewhere- hire me as your relationship coach to find answers to these questions. Why? Because I’ve experienced what you are going through, I’ve become a licensed therapist who helps women heal and you need support at this time.

Brain fog or CRS (Can’t Remember S**t) is a real symptom of chronic emotional manipulation and gaslighting.

Instead, just until you can get out of the relationship, WRITE DOWN FACTS.

Keep a list of the facts that happened. Be honest and straightforward. This list will keep you in REALITY.

It will be harder to manipulate you when you have evidence of what happened and what’s going on.

Is it work? Sure. But your sanity is worth it!

Work with me! In Michigan and Florida I’m looking for women who are confused about their relationship and want an experienced, objective therapist to help!

I’m also available (using my therapy background) as a 1:1 relationship coach.

Find me at the link above by scheduling a free call to get started!

Or…

-why your nervous system is haywire
-whether the relationship is fixable

Your brain and your heart are at war sometimes in a toxic relationship. You know he’s harmful to you, but damn it you love him.

That’s a mind warp - you want him to be better, to change and take accountability for his behavior. But realistically you know it won’t happen.

I’m a therapist who helps women figure this out. I’m accepting new clients in Michigan and Florida. Book a free introductory call with me at the link in my bio.

Outside of Michigan and Florida? No worries, call me at the link and we can discuss options.
