The Truth That Keeps You Gone — And the Tools That Keep You Free
Quote:
“You didn’t imagine it. You didn’t deserve it. And going back won’t fix what already broke you.” — The Arithra Path
What It’s About:
This letter is for the woman who left — but still finds herself missing what hurt her. It’s for the survivor who needs clarity, not clichés. And it’s for the part of you that knows the pain wasn’t love, but still questions everything at night. This is your truth-anchor. Your sacred no. Your comeback script. And now — your toolkit.
You made it out.
But that doesn’t mean you feel free.
Because leaving a narcissist doesn’t end the war — it just changes the battlefield.
Now it’s the gaslighting in your head. The texts you didn’t answer. The way you still flinch when someone raises their voice. The guilt that whispers, “Maybe I overreacted…”
You know better.
But trauma has a way of wrapping truth in fog.
That’s why I created this:
Gaslighted: The Survivor’s Toolkit.
Not a journal full of platitudes.
Not a therapy handout that makes you feel like a diagnosis.
But a real, raw, trauma-informed recovery kit built by someone who’s lived it — and got up anyway.
Inside you’ll find the tools I wish I had the first month after leaving. The tools I needed when I couldn’t tell if I was healing — or just hiding.
What You’ll Get:
A Gaslight Decoder for the “Maybe it was me” spiral
A Reality Checklist for the nights you miss him
Closure Scripts so you stop rehearsing the goodbye you never got
A Nervous System Repair Plan for when your body won’t calm down
A Red Flag Glossary so you never mistake chaos for chemistry again
Healing Journal Prompts to bring your soul back online
Mantra Cards for mirror work, flashback days, and morning reclaiming
You left.
Now you rebuild.
Not with fluff. Not with false hope.
With power.
With clarity.
With your truth.

You don’t need permission to heal.
You only need a map.
This is yours.

Mariana Arithra Nahal
We are the ones who remember — and rise.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t walking away. It’s staying gone.
