S2E31 GASLIGHTING—ADOPTEE VS ADOPTEE


Listen Later

***MAY CONTAIN TRIGGERING CONTENT

GASLIGHTING. Adoptees have felt gaslighted for years by others that are not adopted. The last place it should be happening is within our private social communities, but it certainly does. Judging, shaming, arguing and anger can sometimes be witnessed on social media adoptee sites. Even though we all have the "Adopted" label, our traumas and triggers can look very different due to our diverse adoption journeys, therefore, making our opinions varied as well. What can we do about this when tensions and emotions are high? 

It's time we come together as a united community, all be it, a community with many opinions. We may not be in the same boat, but we find ourselves in the same ocean called Adoption. It's time to educate the world, and we can't do that if we are divided. 


If you or someone you know would like to tell their adoption story on the podcast (anyone in the adoptee constellation), please send an email to [email protected], and your story will be considered for the podcast.

Due to the LONG-LASTING EMOTIONAL FALLOUT that can be part of adoption, I highly support the GENTLE HEALING SUPPORT of SMGI: Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery. For more information on this groundbreaking and highly successful method, go to ⁠https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com⁠


Please seek professional help if you find yourself struggling with some of the realizations that you may experience during this episode.


This podcast's mission is on adoption education. If you have an expertise that you think would be beneficial to anyone touched by adoption and would like to be on the podcast, get in touch with me. I love to help fellow adoptees by helping to promote your latest project or expertise. It's time WE educate the world!!
