Managing Your Life: How Yin and Yang Strategies Work

The essence of yang strategies is to achieve the goal, designate and protect one's territory, realize ambitions, one's place in the hierarchy, a high level of claims, joy and creativity. Yang is creativity, fire, tension.

And the yin path is about strategies for acceptance, trust, gaining energy, gentleness, relaxation and merging.

Many people in our country do not accept and do not like yin strategies, they consider it a sign of weakness and run away from any attempt to stop and listen to themselves, to contemplate. And mostly stick to yang strategies. This causes burnout. Because art is in the ability to combine and combine them. You can strain with all your might, concentrate on one goal, but remember the important thing. To achieve maximum strength, you need to be able to relax. And vice versa: if you want to relax, you first need to throw out the power!

How to counter gaslighting?

1. Develop the ability to trust yourself and your feelings
Do not double-check the events in your memory, as such checks cast more and more doubt on the reality of facts and feelings.

2. Stand up for your point of view
Try to clearly describe your feelings and the situation that caused them, for example: “I was very angry with your abusive behavior towards me. And now it annoys me that you are trying to make me look crazy.

3. Interview independent observers if necessary
Do other people notice "strangeness"? After all, not always an indication of your emotional breakdowns is gaslighting. It may be that everyone around understands that you have problems, but you do not want to listen to them.

4. If Gaslighting Runs in Your Family, See a Family Therapist
Family therapy can help you unravel the complex tangle of maddening interactions. It often happens that a person practicing gaslighting only understands this in a session with a psychotherapist.
