One Red Flag

We are interrupting our gaslighting series to talk about a major case. The Lindsay Clancy trial has been a major case that has been talked about amongst clinicians, and just about everyone. In this podcast we are instead going to talk about why there is a conspiracy case that has gone viral on social media. It has a bunch of flags and we address some reasons people sometimes break logic. And our friend Sarah Bleichfeld, LICSW joins us.  This may be a little out of order because Sarah joins for a gaslighting episode later. 

In this episode we talk about the original rage bait called Wuthering Heights and how Heathcliff is a walking red flag. We break down how movies like this idealize these kinds of obsessive and codependent relationships as romantic instead of red flag. We also talk about some reasons people miss yellow flags in these kinds of relationships.

Sabrina Luciano and Brooke Donatone talk about Cultural Gaslighting with their first non-therapist guest! AJ Harper, a publishing strategist and co-host of the podcast, Don't Write that Book, brings insider knowledge about midwestern communication. This in-depth conversation addresses when conflict can't get resolved due to cultural differences in communication styles such as Minnesota nice versus New York directness. 
Sadly, Lauren was stuck in parking hell and could not join us this time. 

We are back from hiatus! We recorded this a while ago so Lauren talks about manifesting a Knicks win (before the final games). We also talk about self-gaslighting, which become the ways that we minimize and undermine our thoughts, opinions, and decisions. It's one of the reasons that we ignore red, orange, and yellow flags.
Hopefully we will teach you how to knock this off.

We are working hard on our Gaslighting series but need more time. Also, the weather has been gaslighting with 40 degrees one day and a record high of 90 degrees in May the next day. 
Lauren is in parking hell, Sabrina microaggressed a midwesterner and Brooke did not microaggress Medusa.
No Gorgons were hurt in this recording. See you at the end of the summer. 

Our friend, Sabrina Luciano, LCSW joins us to kick off our series about Gaslighting. We will talk about the red flags of course. However, there are times where gaslighting may be a yellow flag (accidental gaslighting) or communication differences that result in gaslighting but are not a warning signal for problems. 
We also accidentally microaggress Medusa. #isMedusaaredflag?

We have our first guest on the show! We interview Sabrina Luciano, LCSW, a New York therapist who loves talking about toxic positivity. We also mention cults and of course get side-tracked into some horror movies. Find out about the red and yellow flags related to #positivevibes only.
Let the session begin.

This is part 2 of Effusive Too Fast. We talk about the yellow flag of the conversation hijacker who is an example of someone that is effusive too fast. Find out how to spot this yellow flag and what to do when you encounter them. And thanks for being the best podcast audience ever (yes, an example of being effusive).

This is our first 2 part episode! We talk about the red flag of love bombers, yellow flag of too much too soon (or effusive too fast) and some of the brain chemistry that makes us do things we don't normally do when we are falling in love and lust. No neurochemicals were hurt in the production of this podcast.

This episode is about Weaponized Incompetence—the act of pretending to be bad at a task so someone else will do it for you. Learn why this often involves dog poop and find out the tv show that Lauren actually saw (well, only a few episodes). Also please write to us and let us know why AI keeps correcting Weaponized Incompetence as Weaponizing Confidence.
