34. How to Stop 'Shoulding' & Gaslighting Yourself

You may have felt like a victim to gaslighting...but have you considered that you might gaslight yourself? Or that you "should" yourself? Immense guilt comes from both of those behaviors. We talk about how to swap those behaviors + what you can *release* that isn't serving you; for example: releasing the urge to 'keep the peace' or make sure others are happy.

Journal Prompts:

  1. When & what do you say when you "should" yourself? Are there any patterns?
  2. What are some ways you could be gaslighting yourself?
  3. If it's sticking with me, it must be a trigger. Where do I need to heal? What actions can I take? [The Breakthrough Blueprint can help with this!]
  4. What "weights" are you carrying? What mantra can you create to help you loosen the grip & release it?
