I know what happened and how it made me feel. But sometimes, I can convince myself that I made it up or that it didn't warrant my emotional reaction. It's like the thought that it was real is a slippery thought. It's there in the background until I try to hold onto it and then it slides away and I just feel retched about myself.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? How do you hold onto a coherent perspective? I've experienced gaslighting for years and only now am I able to see it for what it is - until I can't and I lose that perspective. Anyone have any ideas? |

[QUOTE=LaborIntensive;3706994]Are you in therapy?
Yes. My T focuses on my emotional experience and mindfully processing it which I find to be helpful. But I'm trying to make peace with a family member and every time I talk to them, I lose the thread, so to speak. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
