    Emotional Abuse: When People Make You Irrelevant

    Emotional abusers have many tactics. They include ridicule, name-calling, minimizing, discounting, manipulation, threats, ordering, and withholding. There is another one that isn't typically mentioned, and yet it is equally painful to experience. It is making you irrelevant. Each of us needs to be understood and validated. We also need to belong to groups and to have relationships where we matter. When people make you irrelevant, they withhold these basic things when you have an expectation that you should be included. When this is used to punish and control, it can be devastating. Recognizing this tactic can help you to decrease its power. Watch this video to learn how to respond to the emotionally abusive tactic of making you irrelevant. #emotional abuse #christianrelationshipadvice #irrelevant  #invalidation  Karla Downing's passion is to see individuals, marriages, and families set free from dysfunction, scriptural misunderstanding, and emotional pain personally and relationally.

    Take a Soft Communication Approach in All Your Relationships: Toxic, Dysfunctional, and Healthy

You cannot control what other people do or how they react, but you can control how you interact. Learning how to take a soft communication approach in all your relationships is a skill you need to develop. Watch this video to learn how.

    Why I Was an Angry Mom and What I Know Now That Would Have Changed It

    Karla Downing offers a vulnerable and honest evaluation of her parenting regrets, looking back from a place of change. With the hindsight that often comes after life moves on, she shares valuable insights that will help mothers and fathers raising minor children, as well as those whose children are grown. Her experience of being angry with her children offers lessons on the parenting mistakes you might have made or are currently making, even if they are not about anger. Evaluating your parenting mistakes is one of the most painful things you can do. No parent starts out planning to hurt their children, but all of us do. Being able to face and admit those mistakes requires that a parent address the what and the why of them. And after that, to do the difficult task of forgiving themselves. If you are having trouble forgiving your parents for their mistakes, it may even help you see their humanity and give you compassion toward them and help you to forgive them.  #angrymothers #parentingjourney #parentingtips #Christianparentingadvice #parentingregrets #forgivingyourself #forgivingyourparents Please listen to this interview Karla has done in the hopes that it will help you.      Website: https://www.changemyrelationship.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMyRelationship YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@changemyrelationship Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/O4pZFH0Bm8E
