Gaslighting and self-trust are deeply intertwined, shaping how we perceive reality and our ability to believe in ourselves. The slow erosion of self-trust through gaslighting often happens in subtle, almost imperceptible ways—dismissive comments, rewritten memories, or even the silent cues of disapproval. Over time, these small moments compound, leading to a constant state of self-doubt. In Breaking Free: Gaslighting and Self-Trust, I explore my own journey of unlearning, rebuilding trust in myself, and reclaiming my sense of reality. Healing doesn’t happen overnight, but each moment of standing firm in our truth is a step toward freedom.
Letting go and moving forward isn’t just a cliché—it’s a challenge. For years, I believed that assigning blame would bring clarity, that understanding exactly where things went wrong would help me regain control. But I’ve learned that blame only keeps me anchored to the past, reliving the same pain without ever truly healing. Real growth comes from shifting my focus inward, recognizing patterns, and accepting that not all answers are necessary. Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting—it means choosing to move forward, even without closure.
