Stop gaslighting yourself!

[mammabear]

It's taken me over 40 years to claim myself for myself and realise I have the right to stand up for me, I had an emotionally abusive upbringing as a lot of people did and I'm now parenting myself and showing myself the love I didn't receive.

Thank you Richard, I desperately needed to hear this today, at this exact moment. You’re much appreciated.

This is probably the hardest one for me. But it is my right, my responsibility and duty to say no to myself and to say no to others. Thank you Richard 🙏

Short and sweet and powerful.

Cheers, Richard.

I wish I had known you thirty years ago… I wish I had heard this message when I was a teenager…

Thank you Richard ❤

Yup, I fall into that category of not having had a solid masculine figure nor a strong feminine figure. Forging that independently. It is sadly necessary for me to adopt messages from surrogate masculine figures such as yourself. So thank you for the reminder 😊

This was so needed. Literally having to set boundaries for people in my life right now. And some people are having to be completely cut from my life. Thankful to you, sir!

Vital information. I grew up without a dad, lots of brothers and sisters and an awesome mum who had all suffered abuse. I was the lucky one. It’s taken me 58 ears to walk away from people and situations that are toxic and acknowledge my sovereignty. Loving Thank you💛

I remember hearing a woman in aa say ‘NO is a full and complete sentence, you can just say it and walk away .’

[mablebird]

Thank you Richard. Your words help me reground myself

[godessunivers]

You are absolutely right, even if it's family! It's your life, and only your!

[justustogether]

[karinaklinkeviciute]

I love when u speak softly with the accent that drives me crazy!!

[annemaried]

Thank you Richard! It’s unbelievable how your post is resonating with what I’m going through right now! Thank you so very much!

[libbisee]

This ia absolutely fantastic and I have been on a journey of self discovery because I have given to so many for years. Thank you so much for this ❤️ I am currently working on this and everytime I do this I feel stronger. I am working on it and hoping it gets easier and easier to make part of who I am .

[urosrot]

Totally agree. There is not enough Fridays walking on earth to use them for arguing and fight for dirt under my finger nails.

[manueljojo]

Well said and wake us up! Thank you Rich!

Thank you. Sometimes these things just need to be said.
