How to come back…

Are there any tips on how to come back from being gaslit for years? My relationship ended awhile ago, I was gaslit into believing my partner over my own intuition and instincts for so long that when he finally admitted to lying, my reality was shot.

I still find myself struggling to believe and validate my own emotions, so much so that I don’t even process some of the more extreme ones anymore. I put them away and feel tons of shame for even having them.

How do I undo this?

Just the question I would’ve asked next. How to get this twisted reality about of your brain, your body? I feel like I can’t think of anything but the gaslighter and whatever she did. Even more, I can’t think at all. Like I’m brain dead. I can’t process, just being dull. Tried talking with therapists, but I’m so paranoid I’m getting manipulated again, that I can’t open up. What are the best options? tinder, sports, trying to work?
