Do you ever feel like you're being manipulated and controlled in your relationships, but can't quite put your finger on it?  In this Community Pod, Purdey speaks to Dr Stephanie Carinia - a clinical psychologist with 13 years experience in trauma and identity.  They deep dive into the topic of gaslighting, a form of psychological manipulation that can leave you doubting your own perceptions and memories. Gaslighting has become a buzz word, splashed around social media or thrown in faces when people are defensive. But how often do we experience it, what is it, how do we recognise it and most importantly why do people do it. We will also cover the impact of gaslighting on your mental health and self-esteem, and provide practical tips on how to respond when faced with gaslighting in a conversation. If you're ready to take back control of your reality and protect yourself from manipulation, this is the episode for you. Tune in for a powerful discussion on gaslighting and learn how to recognize and overcome it.
