Each person needs to feel heard and validated in their relationship.
So what happens when one person refuses to validate the feelings of their partner?
When one person tells their partner they’re overreacting, they’re too sensitive or too needy?
This stops emotional and physical connection.
It makes the other person begin to doubt their reality and they begin to doubt what they know is true.
This is one form of gaslighting.
It is used to confuse, control and manipulate the other person.
It causes the other person to over think things.
It builds mistrust and feelings of not feeling valued, supported, loved and cared for.
