@Kimbumberg10 Yes! My favorite place is the garden while reading with music playing in the background. And if there's wine?!

[Kim Bergman 📚📖✒️ @Kimbumberg10]

Well, I would add a music source also! #Peaceful #simple #librarylife #Reading #garden

Peace is saying no. Not extending yourself beyond your capacity. Not taking on projects so you can preserve your energy. It is not answering questions to soothe another's curiosity about your life. Asserting your boundaries consistently develops your peace. #WorkinProgress

@WonderKing82 It sounds like someone is triggered. We tell the stories that need to be told with respect and dignity. Secret keeping is part of the problem with child abuse.

@souljaboy That's real.

[Aretha Hampton, LCSW @_Healingground]

Lay it down. Buy the sheets.

How to respond to gaslighting: 1. Feel your feelings. When you deny your feelings it's easier to deny what's happening. 2. Boundaries. Say no. Let people go who are stealing your joy. 3. Don't compromise your values and beliefs about yourself. 4. Address the behavior.

[Aretha Hampton, LCSW @_Healingground]

What does gaslighting sound like? I was joking. You're too sensitive. Oh, that didn't happen. You're tripping. It's your fault. You should be grateful. You did that wrong. They turn around and do the exact same thing.

[Aretha Hampton, LCSW @_Healingground]

Gaslighting is manipulation and emotional abuse. A person or persons who work to make you question and doubt what you smell, think, see, feel and hear. They do this to get you to do the things that benefit them. #redflags #emotionalabuse #letthemgo #trustyourvoice

@WonderKing82 Do Right Woman Do Right Man.

[Aretha Hampton, LCSW @_Healingground]

Don't dilute your spirit to make yourself palatable for others. Family, colleague, romantic partners. Be your full strength self or nothing at all. Conforming or making yourself small wounds and quiets your voice. Open up space for doubt. Sacrificing your needs for others needs.

[Aretha Hampton, LCSW @_Healingground]

It's a trip how the truth, your authenticity, your needs is too much for someone. If they can't handle or accept it and lean in to support maybe they're not for you?
