Have you ever found yourself questioning your memory or reality, feeling as if your thoughts and feelings were being invalidated?

I tackle the subtle yet destructive practice of gaslighting in this latest conversation, where I bring my expertise as a high-conflict divorce coach to dissect the psychological manipulation designed to make victims doubt their own sanity. 
This episode  reveals the various guises of gaslighting, from the outright lies to the more insidious forms of minimising and blame-shifting. 
Especially challenging is the way these tactics can infiltrate co-parenting dynamics, leaving one partner scrambling to maintain a sense of truth. 
This conversation is a crucial one, as it sheds light on the long-term effects on those who've endured this form of abuse and offers a pathway to reclaiming their trust in their own perceptions.

Escaping the orbit of a manipulative ex is no small feat, a truth many of my clients and  listeners can sadly relate to. The journey to reclaiming autonomy post-separation is fraught with obstacles, often involving an ex who masks controlling behaviors as concern or affection.
