Trust Your Own Mind

Recovering your judgement after manipulation and gaslighting

For you if you have started to doubt your own memory, apologise for things you did not do, or feel you cannot win a conversation with him.

Start week 1, free

By the end

  • A written record of what actually happens, that you can trust when you are told otherwise
  • The ability to hear the sentences that end conversations, while they are happening
  • One calm sentence that stops a reality argument without agreeing to his version
  • A boundary you can keep whether or not he agrees with it
  • A plan for the days the doubt comes back

How it works

  • Five short sessions a week, on your phone, at your own pace.
  • Everything you write is saved, and read back to you at the end of each week.
  • Draws on CBT, DBT interpersonal effectiveness, schema therapy, motivational interviewing, ACT, compassion-focused therapy. Self-help, not therapy.
This is a self-help programme, not therapy and not a safety plan. If you are afraid of your partner, if he has hurt you or threatened to, or if you are thinking about leaving and worried about his reaction, please talk to a specialist service. In the UK, Refuge runs a free 24-hour helpline on 0808 2000 247. If you are in immediate danger, call 999 (or 112 in the EU).
