Have you ever found yourself grappling with terms like "gaslighting," "ghosting," or "trauma bonds," unsure of their meanings or implications?
If so, you're not alone.
In this episode, we delve into the complex world of divorce and relationship terminology and lingo…. A bit like an alternative dictionary.
There is so much of this language that has seeped into everyday conversations but often it leaves us feeling confused as to what the hell it all means. From "breadcrumbing" to "gaslighting," this episode is a bit like having your own translator.
TW: Some of the words and terms are complex and can be re-traumatising. If you are experiencing any of the abuse we talked about in today’s episode, please please please seek support.
These are some UK services for supporting domestic abuse:
Remember, you deserve to live a fulfilling and healthy life, free from toxic relationships and abuse.
Sending you SO much love
