Gaslighting is SERIOUS business, and I’m not sure what your experience has been but I think is interesting is that I’ve really only started hearing about the concept of gaslighting for the last five or so years. Yes — no doubt you had a role to play, but don’t judging or blaming yourself is also not the answer. It’s hard to find that balance. I wish you so much luck in your recovery as well, and I hope access to care somehow gets solved. It is heart breaking that such care can be hard to get. I got lucky in picking a therapist that happened to also be a trauma therapist. There are other resources available out there — online therapy/courses/etc. Weirdly enough a very healing course for me was an online binge eating course I took a few years back. There are opportunities for recovery and healing in the least expected places.
Sending you lots of positive vibes ❤ Thank you for sharing.
