In this episode, we are uncovering gaslighting, a form of psychological manipulation that distorts reality and causes people to question their perceptions and memories. It’s intense, pervasive, and can wreak havoc in relationships. But fear not, because we explored the roots, manifestation, and impact of gaslighting to help you combat this toxic behavior head-on. 

We also debunked the common misconception that gaslighting is just a form of disagreement. It’s not. It’s a manipulative, intentional distortion of reality leading to doubt and confusion in the victim's mind. This is the essence of gaslighting, and recognizing it is the first step to overcoming it. Listen as I share four key tips to avoid or correct gaslighting in a relationship.
