Let’s talk about Reactive Abuse. Reactive abuse happens when someone who has been emotionally, verbally, psychologically, or physically abused finally reacts by yelling back, shutting down, defending themselves, or acting out of character. The abuser then points to that reaction and says, “See? You’re the problem.” This can leave survivors feeling confused, ashamed, and questioning their own reality. Here’s the truth: Reacting to prolonged harm is not abuse it’s a nervous system in survival mode

Reactive abuse occurs when a victim of prolonged emotional, physical, or psychological abuse reacts to their abuser with aggression or hostility. This reaction is often used by the abuser to manipulate the situation, portraying the victim as the aggressor and themselves as the victim. It's a tactic that shifts blame and deflects responsibility, further confusing and controlling the true victim. #reactiveabuse #narcissist #toxicrelationships | Stephanie Lyn Life Coaching

😞 WHAT IS REACTIVE ABUSE? Reactive abuse is when she pushes you so far… With gaslighting, insults, lies, or stonewalling—that you finally snap, and she points the finger at you as the abuser.
