Understanding the Discard Phase
The discard phase is a critical part of the cycle of abuse that follows manipulative behaviors such as gaslighting and stonewalling. During this phase, the abuser creates a sense of panic and fear of abandonment in their victim, which often provokes a desperate response for reconciliation. This manipulation is not only damaging but also reveals a glimmer of hope, as it highlights the toxic dynamics at play in the relationship. Recognizing and understanding this phase can empower victims to break free from the cyclical nature of abuse.
