Remember, you've been told that you're alone, that you're dumb, that your feelings don't matter and that they're the only person that can give you that validation.
Ever felt like you're losing your grip on reality because of someone's manipulation? In this eye-opening episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu Robinson and Marisa Robinson tackle the insidious topic of gaslighting. Coach Blu, a licensed mental health therapist and certified substance use disorder counselor, joins forces with Marisa, a Certified Recreational Therapist, to shed light on this subtle yet devastating form of emotional abuse.
The episode invites listeners to participate through direct messaging or live Zoom calls, making it an interactive experience. Gaslighting is more than just a buzzword; it's a tactic used to make someone question their own reality. Whether in romantic relationships, family dynamics, or even at work, gaslighting can leave victims feeling confused and isolated. The hosts break down how gaslighters use manipulation and distraction to distort the truth, making their victims doubt their own memories and perceptions.
For those in recovery from addiction, gaslighting can be particularly harmful, triggering feelings of shame and self-doubt that hinder the healing process. Coach Blu and Marisa emphasize the importance of recognizing these manipulative techniques and offer practical strategies to combat them. From setting boundaries to practicing mindfulness, they provide actionable advice to help listeners regain their sense of self.
They also stress the importance of seeking professional help, such as therapy or counseling, to address the emotional trauma caused by gaslighting. But it's not all heavy; the episode also highlights upcoming Addict II Athlete events like the Athlete 5K, offering a chance for community support and honoring loved ones affected by addiction. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with emotional abuse or looking to support someone who is.
Tune in to gain valuable insights and take a crucial step towards emotional freedom.
