FAQ:

“ Can you gaslight yourself?”

Yes ! You can gaslight yourself-
If you grow up in an environment or are exposed to this for long periods of time, you tend to internalize and create an inner critic
FAQ: “ Can some people do this unintentionally?”

Some people grow up in environments or in mindsets where this is completely normal-
BUT.... Even IF you understand them, the fact stands that they are bad for you. It still not excuse their behavior.

Boundaries need to be set.
FAQ: “ Can this happen outside a romantic relationship? “

YES. Emotional abuse can happen between family, friends, in the work place-

This is why you need to make sure you have a strong sense of self and have proper boundaries or you’re going to lose yourself :,)
FAQ: “ Where do I start? What are some boundaries? “

I refer to this spread sheet !

( taken from a Cognitive Behavior Therapy session, I do not remember the title but I scanned it for you all :3 )
