IT’S A RANT!!

In this weeks episode we get into the all so common manipulative tactics that we experience in our day to day relationships. I talk about gaslighting, what got me thinking about and how to recognise if you are being gaslighted. Since movies like Gone Girl the image that this is somewhat normal has been put in our heads as society and we should not allow it. Sit or stand and enjoy my rant.

In this episode I speak to a friend of mine Hlengiwe about her mental health journey. We talk about her diagnosis, telling her African parents and the battle of understanding. I am not a qualified medical professional, psychiatrist and psychologist. Neither of us are professionals but we thought there’s nothing better than having someone to relate to what you’re going through.
