How to Reconnect with Your Intuition After Gaslighting
Reclaiming Your Inner Knowing After Narcissistic Abuse
Gaslighting is one of the most insidious forms of emotional abuse. This is felt at the core for any intuitive, sensitive, and empathic person. It makes you question your reality. You might become confused about your memories. Worst of all, the constant impact of gaslighting can disconnect you from your inner knowing.
If you have been gaslit by a narcissistic partner, parent, friend, or even a boss, you may find yourself second-guessing everything. But here is the truth:
Your intuition never left you. It was just buried under the noise of someone else's manipulations.
As a spiritual counselor and energy healer who works with old souls recovering from narcissistic abuse, I want you to know this: you can rebuild trust with your intuition. It is your birthright.
What Is Gaslighting (and How Does It Impact Intuition)?
Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that causes you to doubt your feelings and perceptions. Over time, it erodes your confidence and your inner guidance system, while disrupting your intuition.
You might recognize these patterns:
“Maybe I am overreacting…”
“What if I’m remembering it wrong?”
“They said they were joking, maybe I misunderstood…”
The more you are gaslit, the more disconnected you become from your intuitive truth. This is not your fault. It was a survival mechanism.
But intuition is never lost. It is always waiting for you to come home to it.
5 Ways to Strengthen Your Intuition After Being Gaslit
1. Validate Your Emotional Reality
Start by affirming that what you feel is real. Intuition often speaks through subtle feelings. Feelings such as: a tightness in your chest, a sinking gut, or a moment of inner resistance. Journal your emotional responses without censoring them. This helps you reconnect with your body's truth.
Affirm: “I am allowed to trust how I feel, even if others do not understand.”
2. Clear Energetic Residue from the Abuser
Gaslighting often creates energetic entanglement via cords, attachments, and imprints. Regular energetic hygiene is essential. Try:
Cord-cutting visualizations
Salt baths or smudging
Chakra clearing meditations
When the noise of others' energy clears, your own voice becomes clearer.
3. Rebuild Trust Through Micro-Decisions
Instead of pressuring yourself to know everything right away, start with small intuitive decisions:
What color feels nourishing to wear today?
Do I want tea or water?
Does this room feel good to be in?
Track how these intuitive hits feel in your body. Over time, this strengthens your “inner yes” and “inner no.”
4. Practice Psychic Boundary Work
Gaslighting often dissolves your psychic boundaries. Rebuild them by visualizing protective light fields and grounding daily.
Try this simple mantra: “I call all of my energy back to me. I trust myself.”
5. Connect with Your Higher Self, Angels, or Spirit Guides
Your intuition is also a bridge to the divine. You can work with your Higher Self, angels, spirit guides, or ancestors to ask:
“What do I need to know right now?”
“What truth have I forgotten?”
Automatic writing or guided meditations can help you receive these messages more clearly.
Rebuilding Intuition Is a Practice, Not a Quick Fix
Gaslighting teaches you to override your own voice. Rebuilding your intuition is about learning to listen to the parts of you that were silenced.
You do not need to feel completely confident to start. You just need to be willing to hear yourself again.
Some days it will feel like clarity. Other days it will feel like doubt wrapped in quiet knowing. All of it is part of the process.
You are building a new relationship with your intuition.
One rooted in truth, not fear.
