Save Your Sanity - Help for Toxic Relationships4 Aug 2019

See the Gaslighting! It's Verbal, Psychological, AND Emotional Abuse.

#Hijackals--those relentlessly difficult toxic people--want to define your reality for you. Right?

They try to tell you what you think, what you feel, or what you remember or want. Crazy-making!

Telling you who you are and what you think and feel is #gaslighting. Sure, you have friends that you might ask, or be discussing these things with because you value their opinion. Whole different story!

Hijackals tell you because they want to define your reality, so that they can have power and control over you. Once they wear and tear you down, you may begin to believe them. STOP! They are doing it for all the wrong reasons. Don't let them.

In today's episode, I help you hear phrases differently. You might not have realized this is happening to you because #Hijackals are sneaky, underhanded, and undermining you. They want to take away your self-confidence. They want to make you dependent on them. Nasty!

I share with you how--and why that 'how' is important--to change your response, and what to say. It can make a huge difference to regaining your self-esteem, and bolstering your self-confidence. Exactly what the Hijackal doesn't want to happen, but exactly what you need to happen!
