How well versed are you in the dark art of gaslighting? Imagine a situation where your reality is manipulated, your perceptions warped, and your emotional sanity questioned. That's the shadowy territory we venture into in this episode, as we expose the enigma of gaslighting within polyamory relationships. We scrutinise its forms, tactics, and its insidious effects on the human psyche. We'll guide you on the less-traveled path to distinguishing gaslighting from self-discovery.

Ever wondered how gaslighters ply their trade, or why it seems so hard to call out within the polyamorous community? We dissect real-life incidents, laying bare the manipulative techniques of gaslighters and how they exploit our personal experiences. With no traditional framework in polyamory, we'll arm you with our experience of identifying deception and, hopefully, defend yourself against it. We'll also share insights on how gaslighting can, shockingly, be a response to trauma.

Finally, we'll delve into the unique challenges and nuances of non-monogamous liaisons. From the appeal of purely sexual relationships to the complexities of navigating romantic entanglements, we cover it all. We emphasise the importance of reputation awareness, support structures, and self-protection in the polyamorous community. By the end of this episode, you'll be equipped to spot gaslighting in polyamory and navigate your way through it. Join us on this enlightening journey.
