My friend and guest Sarah Morales joins me today in a two part conversation around gaslighting and how it can lead to self gaslighting. Gaslighting after betrayal is not confusion, it is a system. In this episode Sarah and I map the methods that keep partners stuck, why abuse often escalates after separation, and how psychoeducation plus body awareness restores safety and choice. We unpack DARVO, reality challenges, chaos, conflict, and confusion, and we name the rope metaphor so you can spot it sooner and step away.Check out Sarah's website for more [email protected]________________________✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.
