In toxic relationships, when people show you who they are, you need to believe them. But, we often don't. We give them the benefit of the doubt again and again. We believe their lies by gaslighting ourselves. And, we doubt that they could really be that bad.

This gets us in all kinds of stressful dysfunctional relationship dynamics because they haven't changed, are who they are, and don't care how we are affected.  We do this because of the invalidation we are accustomed to in toxic relationships. It is for these reasons that we have to trust ourselves. 

Watch this video to find out how you can get to the place that when people show you who they are, you believe them. When you do, they will prove you are right, instead of wrong.  #toxicrelationship #invalidation #gaslight #dysfunctionalrelationship
