Avoidant Gaslighting- Spot It & Stop It

I unpack the subtle and often misunderstood behavior known as avoidant gaslighting. I explore why avoidant partners distort truth, not always to manipulate, but to protect themselves, and how these patterns create distance and erode trust. You’ll learn how to recognize this behavior, respond without escalating, and set boundaries that foster accountability and connection.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 - What is avoidant gaslighting?02:50 - Truth distortion and misremembering05:26 - “The Turn” and shifting blame07:39 - Why avoidants retreat from closeness10:04 - How to name and address the behavior13:42 - Tools for shared accountability15:56 - Avoidant awareness vs. defensiveness17:27 - Building reflection and self-awareness***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?
