Quotes:
“Narcissists come across as being really curious about you, but really what they're doing is they're collecting as much information so that they can use it against you.” - Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri
“Trauma bonded is trauma occurring within the relationship and that is the bond between the two.” - Nikki Spo
“Gaslighting mostly occurs by a person who you trust.” - Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri
“Lying is a denial of reality and gaslighting goes on to dismantle the target.” - Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri
“I've learned over the years that I can't control how other people treat me or what they do to me or what they say to me or how they try to make me feel. I can only control my reaction to things and how I respond to those situations.” - Nikki Spo
“You can't gaslight me because I know myself. I know who I am. But when you are in a space of not knowing who you are and slowly your self-worth is being chipped away at and that breaks down over and now you feel like your self-worth is completely diminished, that person is easy to gaslight.” - Nikki Spo
“Gaslighting is the pathologically insecure person who's praying on the conventionally insecure person.” - Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri
“Let's not blame the victim. Let's give them the support that they need. Let's give them the understanding.” - Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri
