In this episode, we delve into the insidious tactic of gaslighting—a form of psychological manipulation where abusers distort facts, deny events, and twist narratives to make victims question their own reality. By systematically undermining a person's confidence in their perceptions and memories, gaslighters gain control and create a dependency that can be difficult to escape.

We'll explore the common signs of gaslighting, including:

• Blatant denial of facts, even when presented with evidence
• Minimization of the victim's feelings and experiences
• Projection of blame onto the victim
• Isolation from support systems

Understanding these tactics is the first step toward recognizing and breaking free from the cycle of abuse.Join us as we shed light on this covert form of emotional abuse and discuss strategies for reclaiming your reality and rebuilding self-trust.
