What Is Gaslighting?
Gaslighting is a form of manipulation that often occurs in abusive relationships. 
Gaslighting primarily occurs in romantic relationships, but it's not uncommon for it to occur in controlling friendships or among family members as well. 
Where Did 'Gaslighting' Get Its Name?
The term gaslighting comes from a 1938 play by Patrick Hamilton, known in America as "Angel Street" and later developed into the film "Gas Light" by Alfred Hitchcock.7

How Gaslighting Works
Gaslighting is a technique that undermines a person's perception of reality. 
Lying to You
Discrediting You
Distracting You
Minimizing Your Thoughts and Feelings
Shifting Blame
Denying Wrongdoing
Using Compassionate Words as Weapons
Rewriting History
Signs of Gaslighting
•        You doubt your feelings and reality
•        You question your judgment and perceptions: 
•        You feel vulnerable and insecure: 
•        You feel alone and powerless: 
•        You wonder if you are what they say you are
•        You are disappointed in yourself and who you have become: 
•        You feel confused
•        You worry that you are too sensitive
•        You have a sense of impending doom 
•        You spend a lot of time apologizing
•        You feel inadequate
•        You second-guess yourself
•        You assume others are disappointed in you
•        You wonder what's wrong with you
•        You struggle to make decisions because you distrust yourself
What to Do If Someone Is Gaslighting You
•        Gain some distance
•        Save the evidence
•        Set boundaries
•        Get an outside perspective
•        End the relationship

If you suspect that you are experiencing gaslighting, you may also find it helpful to talk to a mental health professional

Toxic Family Members
Many people do not realize the negative effects of a toxic family during childhood until they are in adulthood.
Signs you were raised in a toxic family
•        parent or discipline younger siblings or provide most of their care
•        you were tasked with taking care of younger siblings 
•        you were expected to take on responsibilities like cooking meals or other duties before you were safely or capably able to do so
•        you were expected to provide emotional support to adults/caregivers as if you were another adult
•        You were harshly criticized as a person
•        Your needs were not met as a child
Supportive parents should support your basic needs by:
•        setting healthy boundaries
•        providing affection
•        provide healthy discipline
•        taking care of your health and well-being
•        ensure you received a good education
•        ensure you had food to eat and clean clothes to wear

Katherine Fabrizio, MA, LPC, specializes in working with daughters of toxic mothers. She offers this general rule of thumb:
“If you end up feeling bad about yourself after most encounters with a family member, there’s probably a good reason for that, one worth looking into.”
•        sexual gestures or innuendo
•        sexual comments about your body
•        name-calling
•        physical violence
•        sexual abuse
•        harsh or extreme criticism
•        gaslighting
Sometimes, abuse isn’t easy to recognize.
For example, you and a sibling might both toss out some pretty nasty names during an argument. Or maybe you end up throwing clothes at each other across your room. But you make up and apologize once you each express your feelings.
If this type of behavior happens repeatedly and there’s never any resolution, it might be a toxic relationship.
How to respond 
There’s no right or wrong way to deal with toxic family members.
•        Cut off complete contact with&

Road Rage Quiz

Do You Cause Road Rage?


Understanding what fuels this dangerous behavior may help psychologists curb it. In studies of anger and aggressive driving, counseling psychologist Jerry Deffenbacher, PhD, of Colorado State University, found that people who identified themselves as high-anger drivers differ from low-anger drivers in five key ways.
•        They engage in hostile, aggressive thinking. They’re more likely to insult other drivers or express disbelief about the way others drive. Their thoughts also turn more often to revenge, which sometimes means physical harm.
•        They take more risks on the road. High-anger drivers are more likely to go 10 to 20 mph over the speed limit, rapidly switch lanes, tailgate, and enter an intersection when the light turns red.
•        High anger drivers get angry faster and behave more aggressively. They’re more likely to swear or nam

WINNER OF THE WEEK:  All of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Paintings and Maps Are Now Online to Inspire Adventure,
https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/all-of-j-r-r-tolkiens-paintings-and-maps-are-now-online-to-inspire-adventure/



The E! reporter, Giuliana Rancic, said putting her husband first, and the baby second is the secret to her happy marriage. 
If you watch the segment, you’ll meet these two female bloggers who basically say the kids always come first and then laugh about where their spouses fall on the list…. “If you asked me what the breakdown was I would say my children, my girlfriends, then my husband. But…don’t tell him that because he doesn’t know it.”  And then they laugh hysterically like it’s all a big joke.
•        A strong marriage is the healthiest thing you can give your kids. Your kids feel safe and loved when they see two parents who work as a team, take interest in each other, make an effort, display both respect and affection and act like one another’s favorite, even after all these years.
•        If you put your spouse first, your marriage will last your lifetime

•        Spouses aren’t roommates, they’re partners and lovers. You don’t want to raise obnoxious kids: 

•        Don’t you want your kids to grow up and marry someone who puts them first? 


1. You will be doing your children a favor.
2. A happy marriage creates a trickle-down effect. 
3. Your life won’t always be sitting in the bleachers and playing chauffeur.  
4. What doesn’t get nurtured will eventually die.

WINNER OF THE WEEK: Holocaust Survivors Reunite in Florida After a Labor Camp Friendship was Broken 80 Years Ago25,
https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/holocaust-survivors-reunite-in-florida-80-years-after-imprisonment/

The E! reporter, Giuliana Rancic, said putting her husband first, and the baby second is the secret to her happy marriage. 
If you watch the segment, you’ll meet these two female bloggers who basically say the kids always come first and then laugh about where their spouses fall on the list…. “If you asked me what the breakdown was I would say my children, my girlfriends, then my husband. But…don’t tell him that because he doesn’t know it.”  And then they laugh hysterically like it’s all a big joke.
•        A strong marriage is the healthiest thing you can give your kids. Your kids feel safe and loved when they see two parents who work as a team, take interest in each other, make an effort, display both respect and affection and act like one another’s favorite, even after all these years.
•        If you put your spouse first, your marriage will last your lifetime

•        Spouses aren’t roommates, they’re partners and lovers. You don’t want to raise obnoxious kids: 

•        Don’t you want your kids to grow up and marry someone who puts them first? 


1. You will be doing your children a favor.
2. A happy marriage creates a trickle-down effect. 
3. Your life won’t always be sitting in the bleachers and playing chauffeur.  
4. What doesn’t get nurtured will eventually die.

WINNER OF THE WEEK;  A Dog Presumed Dead In An Avalanche Is Found Alive Days Later

https://www.sunnyskyz.com/good-news/4591/A-Dog-Presumed-Dead-In-An-Avalanche-Is-Found-Alive-Days-Later

INSOMNIA
COMMON SLEEP DISORDERS:
*Narcolepsy: 
*Restless Leg Syndrome
*Sleep Apnea
*Insomnia
It is important to rule out the first three prior to addressing your issue as insomnia
        
WHAT IS INSOMNIA?
Insomnia is characterized by an inability to initiate or maintain sleep. 
STATISTICS
*Approximately one in four Americans develop insomnia each year
*About 30% of American adults have symptoms of insomnia
* Up to 10% of American adults are likely to have chronic insomnia
* Lost productivity related to insomnia costs the US economy about $63 billion a year
* 83% of those who suffer from depression also experience symptoms of insomnia

We have discussed in past shows how our minds have developed habits
Sleep patterns are also learned behaviors.  They are habits that have become embedded in our subconscious mind. 
Retraining your mind to “shut off” when you go to bed
SLEEP HYGIENE:
1.        Keep a regular sleep schedule.  Go to bed and get up and the same time every day (even on weekends)
2.        Bedroom is for sleep!  Make your bedroom a place that you use ONLY to sleep (or other intimate activities).  Clear your bedroom of any electronic devices (TV, phones, computers, laptops).  Train yourself to recognize that the bedroom is for sleep. 
3.        Avoid stimulants (such as caffeine) after 12:00noon.  Also avoid alcohol. While alcohol can give you a temporary state of relaxation, it will interfere with normal sleep patterns and actually disrupt sleep throughout the night. 
4.        An hour prior to bedtime, begin relaxing your mind.  Avoid activities that excite your mind and focus on just being calm, quiet and still.  You may read a book, listen to relaxing music or just sit quietly. 
5.        When you go to bed, begin deep breathing exercises.  The following technique is a common one that has shown much success by those who implement it.  Take in a slow deep breath through your nose while counting to 8.  Hold that breath for at least 5 seconds.  Slowly exhale through your mouth while counting to 10. Continue to repeat while just focusing on the sound of your breathing.
