I’ve had several people ask me about gaslighting. They want to understand it and they want to know more. I can only share my experiences with you from my past relationships. One example is I’ve had narcissists do name-calling and then say “I was just joking”. When they name call, first that is no wayContinue reading “đźš©What Is Gaslighting? đźš©”

Mental Health Days Are Okay
Those are not my actual words from my therapist but I am an advocate for mental health days. Sometimes it’s just too much to face the world, open your door and expose yourself to environments that may hurt you. These are the words I told one of the tribe members recently. I told her thatContinue reading “Mental Health Days Are Okay”
Judas Amongst Us
This past week has been hell! I’ve told y’all that I am aware that connections are not coincidental and people come into your life for a reason. Well as real as there are unknown angels among us, there are devils and powers of evil searching for a soul to devour. It’s the critically wounded thatContinue reading “Judas Amongst Us”
Who Is Drowning?
One thing I’ve concluded on my journey is that when one is drowning they don’t know who else is drowning. When one is overwhelmed with grief, depression, sadness, or their stuff they never look around to see who else is drowning. Our emotional drowning is much like our physical drowning. If we are drowning orContinue reading “Who Is Drowning?”

đźš© What Is The Silent Treatmentđźš©
I’m on a roll with narcissists lately because I’ve been exposed recently and it’s reminded me of my former life. I think the biggest trait that I’ve seen in my narcissists is the silent treatment.

đźš© Like Running On A Hamster Wheel đźš©
Since I’ve been on my path, I’ve limited my time and energy with people. See when you are healing, you can’t just expose yourself to all environments. You must rest, take care of yourself, it doesn’t matter if it’s physical or mental, limiting contact with people is necessary so you don’t get reinfected. The minuteContinue reading “đźš© Like Running On A Hamster Wheel đźš©”
Your Mental Health Matters
I did not write that quote but I could have written it. I have sacrificed my mental health for others’ priorities, needs, and their lack of disappointment. I’ve focused on others for so long and so much that I am burned completely out now. Here’s the thing about mental health, nobody can see it untilContinue reading “Your Mental Health Matters”
Your Crown Is Falling
If you haven’t read my story about how Dealing to Healing was born then you may not know that my goal when the blog was born was just not to write and heal me but to help others. The goal was to help just one, one post at a time. I pray that prayer eachContinue reading “Your Crown Is Falling”
