The Truth About Gaslighting, Trauma Bonds, and Healing After Abuse (Part 2)

Welcome back to The Blueprint Podcast. I’m Yanique, your friend, your sister, and your host. If you caught our last episode with Briyon Minor, we talked about parenting, kids’ mental health, and the patterns that shape how we show up at home. Today, we’re continuing that conversation because what starts in the home doesn’t stop there. It follows us into our relationships, how we love, how we cope, and how we heal. In this episode, I’m joined again by Briyon Minor, Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (Atlanta). Briyon works closely with families and individuals navigating trauma, relationships, and recovery, helping them find healthier ways to connect and break free from old cycles. We’re diving into: Gaslighting and how it makes you question your reality Manipulation and the need for power and control The Power & Control Wheel: intimidation, emotional abuse, isolation, financial abuse, coercion, threats, and more Red flags to look for before abuse escalates Trauma bonding and the “I can fix them” mindset Substance use and how it impacts families and children How trauma affects the brain and how the body can hold trauma What healing looks like, how therapists create treatment plans, and where to find support If you’re listening and you’ve been through manipulation, abuse, or you’ve been carrying the weight of trying to hold it all together, I want you to know: You’re not broken. You’re not alone. You’re becoming. 💛 Support the podcast / donate to the movement: Buy Me A Coffee link: https://buymeacoffee.com/theblueprint Follow Yanique / The Blueprint: Instagram: @sisyouareher TikTok/Instagram/Facebook:@yaniquetheceo App: https://Herreflectionspace.com 📖 Grab my book Sis, You Are HER: 👉 https://a.co/d/1HbDkRX Book recommendation: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk \ Love Languages - https://5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/lo... 📩 Guest contact (as shared in the episode): goalsincorporation.gmail.com 📌 Resources mentioned in this episode 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Call, text, or chat 988 — confidential support 24/7 for suicidal thoughts, mental health crises, or emotional distress. 🌐 https://988lifeline.org/ National Domestic Violence Hotline Call 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or text START to 88788 for free, confidential support for anyone experiencing abuse. 🌐 https://www.thehotline.org/ RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) Sexual assault support: call 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) or text HOPE to 64673, plus online chat. 🌐 https://rainn.org/ Mental Health America (MHA) Find affordable counseling, support groups, and local mental health resources. 🌐 https://mhanational.org/ 2-1-1 Community Resources Dial 2-1-1 (where available) to access local services for counseling, shelter, food, and more.
