You’re going to see the signs show up eventually.” “When we’re truly dealing with a manipulation strategy, we tend to get gaslit into believing that what we’re seeing happen, didn’t happen.” “Clarity can be very helpful, but also labeling and allowing everybody to be on the same page about what’s happening.” “It’s a really tragic socialization for all of us because we’re not only taught not to express our needs, but we’re also taught to be self-sacrificial and to service the needs of everyone else around us.” “Whatever it is that happens here, I understand what my non-negotiables are, and everything else, there’s space for compromise, for grace, and for compassion.” “Gaslighting can be very debilitating especially when we don’t know that gaslighting is happening and we can’t call it out as a result.” “When a person is in submission they’re chronically saying, ‘I’m sorry’ [...] who made you believe that you were always at fault, so much so that you apologize by default.” “The more grounded you are, the more mental clarity you have, the more capacity you have to be attuned to yourself, the more we can finally find out who that core self really is.” “The weaponizing of our vulnerabilities is something that happens in these toxic cycles.” Follow Dr. Mariel Buque: Website: https://www.drmarielbuque.com/ Podcast: https://breakthecyclewithdrmariel.buzzsprout.com/ Twitter:: https://twitter.com/drmarielbuque Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.marielbuque/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKa79peiy6CJf2RDI13YNeQ Follow Terri Coles: Website: https://www.terricole.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@terri_cole Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/terricole/
