Words have a lot of power. We sometimes like to believe that actions or physical behavior can carry consequences, and they do, but words should be seen in the same light. Toxic words over time have an effect and can change our brain chemistry or belief system to believe in these false truths. Words have the power to corrode our sense of self. If you’re exposed to verbal abuse, people can 100% believe them as true overtime.
If you’re around people who use words to deem you or belittle you, it’s best to remove yourself from them. This is easier said than done. What do you do if you have people in your life that are close to you and are doing this to you? Their negativity will spread into your psyche. It’s important to note that we don’t have control over what people say to us, but we do have the capacity to check in with ourselves and ask ‘is that true?’. When we hear something toxic, this is the perfect opportunity to strengthen your sense of self and double down on who you are as a person, character, and individual with values.
People often talk about the importance of forgiveness, and while forgiveness can be a good thing, it’s important you process your emotions on the matter at hand first. Trauma or abuse victims can be almost too quick to forgive as a survival technique, and it ends up putting them in positions for more verbal abuse. You have to process and acknowledge your feelings before you can move to a place of forgiveness.
