Rebuilding SELF-TRUST After Manipulation
Season 1 Episode 254
Gaslighting, guilt-tripping, and emotional neglect don't just leave scars — they leave you doubting your own instincts. Many people walk away from manipulative relationships asking, "Can I ever trust myself again?"
In this episode, we explore how manipulation erodes self-trust, why trauma creates cycles of self-doubt and people-pleasing, and — most importantly — how to rebuild your confidence in your intuition. Using insights from psychology, trauma research, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), you'll learn step-by-step practices for reconnecting with your body, honoring your decisions, and setting boundaries without guilt.
🎧 What you'll learn in this episode:
*The neuroscience of why manipulation breaks down self-trust.
*How gaslighting and guilt-tripping condition you to override your instincts.
*The hidden role of emotional neglect and people-pleasing — and how it enables others.
*How to use micro-decisions to retrain your brain to trust yourself again.
*Practices for reconnecting with your body compass and intuition.
*Why resistance (guilt, fear, shame) is normal and a sign you're healing.
If you've ever felt stuck in second-guessing or lost your confidence after being manipulated, this episode will give you practical steps to take back your power.
