Gaslighting Hurts: Reclaiming Your Confidence & Clarity…
Gaslighting can leave you feeling disoriented, questioning your reality & struggling to trust yourself or others. It’s a deeply manipulative behaviour that often stems from learned patterns. The truth is, a gaslighter is unlikely to change unless they actively choose to…but your response, boundaries & actions are where your power lies.
Here’s how coaching, combined with insights from DISC profiling, can help you take back control:
How DISC Can Help You Respond to Gaslighting
🔴 D (Dominance): Find the strength to confront manipulative behaviour head-on. Learn how to set firm boundaries that protect your emotional & mental space without fear
🟠 I (Influence): Reclaim your confidence & stop dismissing your feelings just to “keep the peace”. Coaching can help you stand firm while staying true to your natural people-oriented style
🟢 S (Steadiness): If loyalty is your strength, learn to recognise when it’s being used against you. Trust your instincts & find the courage to prioritise your own well-being
🔵 C (Compliance): Use facts, logic & details to challenge manipulation. With a clear understanding of what happened, you can protect your emotional boundaries & create clarity
Practical Tips If You’ve Experienced Gaslighting
🔥 Document Everything
Write down words, actions & events to create clarity & reduce self-doubt. This is especially helpful when you feel overwhelmed
🔥 Talk to Someone You Trust
It’s not “all in your head”. Sharing your experience with someone who will listen can be a powerful step toward validation & healing
🔥 Set Boundaries
It’s OK to say no. Boundaries are your way of taking back control, even in the face of manipulation
🔥 Rediscover Your Confidence
Coaching provides a safe space to work through self-doubt, rediscover your strengths, rebuild clarity & confidence
How Coaching Can Support You
Working with a coach isn’t about “fixing” what gaslighting took from you…it’s about helping you rediscover what was already there: your clarity, strength & confidence. Coaching, paired with tools like DISC profiling, can help you:
🙌 Recognise challenge manipulation
🙌 Rebuild trust in yourself
🙌 Create actionable strategies to protect your emotional well-being
