Recognize unhealthy patterns: If you have grown up in an abusive home or been in an abusive relationship, emotionally abusive behaviors may seem normal to you and you may seek them out or perpetuate them in other relationships.Refuse to engage your abuser: If you are in a situation where you need to interact with your abuser, step back and refuse to engage with them on any level.Remind yourself of this fact over and over again if you need to. Don’t blame yourself: You may blame yourself for what happened to you or think that you did something to cause it or deserve it, but you need to remember that if someone has abused you, it’s their fault and not yours.It can be helpful to write down your version of events so you have a record of what really happened.
Write down your experiences: Abusers often gaslight their victims and make them doubt their reality.
However, it’s important to reach out to a friend, family member, therapist, or organization that can offer help, support, or protection.
