Episode notes
Anchor To Your Truth
- Detach from needing to be understood and keep a written record of concrete abusive behaviors as evidence of the truth.
- Stop defending against their narrative and instead repair your internal dialogue by studying your evidence.
Discarding Isn't Rejection
- Discarding is psychological warfare designed to punish and increase your anxiety, not objective rejection of your worth.
- Reframe discarding as evidence of their dysfunction and add it to your list of abusive behaviors.
Don't Buy Their Reinvention
- Remind yourself that abuse is functional for them and they repeat patterns because it benefits their control and ego.
- Expect the mask to slip again and don't assume a new partner will make them change.
