231 | Stop Playin' Yaself: How to Avoid Self-Gaslighting

Feelings are complex and easy to get lost in, but for the most part, we can tell how an event or a person makes us feel. However, when self doubt and invalidation creep up on us when we try to remember how something happened, it's a recipe for gaslighting. Not only can somebody else gaslight you, but you can gaslight yourself! It is emotionally abusive and manipulative behavior that can easily be displayed towards ourselves when we don't trust our guts. In this episode, we discuss the signs of self-gaslighting and follow them up with tips and tricks to make sure we don't do that to ourselves. Gaslighting isn't a new topic to us! Head over to our Patreon (link below!) for an exclusive episode where Brittany tells a juicy story about being gaslit and confronting the person about it.

Last week, we talked about taking ownership of our actions through radical accountability and responsibility: https://stream.redcircle.com/episodes/e3e53f4f-1fab-4e38-8c0e-dc9b3ecd5dd7/stream.mp3
