E 137: Unmasking Gaslighting: Recognize, Understand, and Reclaim Your Power


Listen Later

In this episode, we uncover the toxic manipulation tactic known as gaslighting—what it is, why it happens, and how to protect yourself from it. Gaslighting can make you doubt your reality, question your worth, and feel trapped in confusion. But here’s the truth: you’re not imagining things, and you’re not powerless.

We’ll explore five clear signs that you might be experiencing gaslighting, including constant denial of your experiences, being told you’re "too sensitive," and having your words twisted to make you feel at fault. You’ll also learn practical strategies to take back your power, like trusting your instincts, setting firm boundaries, and leaning on a trusted support system.

Whether it’s happening in your relationships, family dynamics, or workplace, this episode equips you with the tools to recognize manipulation, stand in your truth, and reclaim your voice. Your reality is valid, and your truth matters.

For more in-depth insights, check out the book "The Gaslight Effect: How to Spot and Survive the Hidden Manipulation Others Use to Control Your Life" by Dr. Robin Stern. It’s a powerful resource to help you understand gaslighting, break free from its effects, and regain confidence in your own reality.
