Emotional Abuse - Gaslighting & Trauma Bonding

If you've ever felt like you're losing your mind, constantly questioning your memories, or inexplicably tied to a relationship that hurts you, you are not alone. You’re experiencing the devastating patterns of emotional abuse, and what you feel is a common psychological response to an abnormal situation.

This compassionate, trauma-informed guide is your first step toward clarity and healing from narcissistic abuse. It will shine a light on the invisible wounds and give you the knowledge you need to break free from the confusion, reclaim your empowerment, and start your genuine narcissistic abuse recovery.

What’s Inside Your Essential Guide to Trauma Bonding and Gaslighting:

• Define Emotional Abuse: Clearly identify the patterns of power and control through fear, humiliation, and coercion.

• Decode Gaslighting: Learn the manipulation tactics that make you question your own sanity and memory.

• Recognise Trauma Bonding: Uncover the abuse cycle (love bombing, devaluation, reconciliation) and its addictive nature.

• Interactive Quizzes: Self-assessments to help you recognize if you are experiencing gaslighting.

• Rebuild Self-Trust: Practical steps for reconnecting with your intuition and setting healthy boundaries

• Love vs. Control: A clear comparison to distinguish between genuine connection and manipulative dynamics.

I wrote this guide from a place of deep respect for your courage. Like you, I was with a covert narcissist who used coercive control until I no longer recognised myself. This resource is built on both my lived experience and what I've learned through formal studies in Family and Domestic Violence, so you know you're getting grounded, compassionate truth.

Remember: Healing isn't a straight line, but every day you show up for yourself is progress. This is not the end of your story — it's the beginning of your peace. May you always choose yourself and never settle for less than you deserve."
