What is Gaslighting? -- Narcissistic Personality Disorder - NPD

Narcissistic Personality Disorder - NPD: What is Gaslighting? Gaslighting is emotional abuse, where the abuser leads you to question your own reality.

Many examples of gaslighting in relationships include lying to you, isolating you, or making you doubt or question yourself.

The hidden psychological abuse can upend your mental health making you feel depressed, anxious, and isolated.

My Message To You:

My focus on my healing journey and my love and respect for myself is greater than my regard for the narc. This focus helps keep things in perspective.

I have taken my power back and the energy I used to waste on the narc I now channel into healing myself.

After 4 decades of abuse, of varying degrees, I continually remind myself that freedom from the toxicity that was our relationship and the peace that it brings is the only acceptable way for me to live out the rest of my life.

I hope your journey doesn't take as long as mine has (is), which goes to show how important it has been (is) for me to heal my own issues first.
When the smoke hiding what was really going on began to clear and I could see and think clearly, I stopped playing out my part in our toxic relationship.

This has been the way forward.

Enabling, perpetuating, resisting. These are all parts of the smoke that clouds your perception.

Watch my videos and I believe through learning about npd, things you never realized before will gradually become obvious to you and start you on your own healing journey.

The journey will take time but you will be able to heal and live a peaceful and happy life. I wish this for all of you.

Join our community of supportive people and surround yourself with others who share your journey.

Until next time - Be strong!
