Do you find yourself constantly second-guessing your own memory and perception after covert narcissistic abuse even when you know what actually happened? Have you ever talked yourself out of your own reality, even after someone confirmed it was true? What if the voice telling you that you are crazy is not your voice at all — and recovery from gaslighting starts with finally understanding where it actually came from? Feeling crazy is one of the most painful and most common signs of covert narcissistic abuse and one of the hardest things to shake even after you are out of the situation. In this episode I share a specific moment that shows exactly how deep the self-doubt went: an event witnessed and confirmed by someone who was right there, that I still managed to talk myself out of. We talk about why that happens and why feeling crazy after narcissistic abuse is not evidence of a broken mind but evidence of what was deliberately done to it. And we talk about how God has a way of quietly bringing you back to truth and restoring your confidence in what you know. If you are a narcissistic abuse survivor who has been doubting your own perception and memory long after you got out — this episode is going to bring you real clarity and real relief. Recovery from gaslighting and rebuilding your self-worth starts with understanding that the voice saying you are crazy is not your voice. It was put there. And it is not the truth about you.
