What the Hell is My Brain Doing?

How do I deal with Gaslighting?


Listen Later

Happy December to my amazing listeners!

We have been talking a lot about things that may ruffle the feathers of those around us when we implement them into our lives.

Let’s review…

We have talked about setting healthier boundaries which can lead some people to think you are pushing them away when really you are creating space for your energy.

We’ve discussed how to better manage difficult conversations at work as we approach year end reviews.

Lastly, we spent some time looking at how we might be “People Pleasing” too much and how we can have a healthier approach that honors ourselves.

Given these new strategies you might be employing in your interpersonal and professional relationships, I wanted to take some time to warn you that some of these folks aren’t going to like your new energy….

They will perceive your new boundaries as a threat to their position in your life.

And your new focus on protecting and honoring yourself may be viewed as selfish.

Some of them will likely attempt to “Gaslight” you.

Gaslighting is a word that is enjoying quite a bit of buzz in society today.

TV, Movies, Online Articles- you name it and people are mentioning it.

Creators will say things like “Well this person gaslit me in such and such way” or someone on reddit might say “Such and such happened- are they gaslighting me?”

Like so many things though that become “trendy,” it can be misused and over-prescribed.

So on this weeks episode, we are going to do a little deep dive into the topic of gaslighting so that you can be properly prepared to know what to look out for and how to protect yourself from it when you start living this more authentic version of yourself.
